Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
Hear the Good News! Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know you are forgiven and be at peace. Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Congregation |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |

Lord, we hear the heavenly song, your song of joy and peace. We see the shining star, and follow it to your promise. We stand in your light, our hearts filled with your love. You are an awesome God. Help us to be your people, to reflect your light. We can be blind to hurt and need, loneliness and fear. Too often we see only our own needs, and let the poor suffer, or leave an argument unmended. Help us, we pray, to see beyond ourselves, to reconcile with all people, to accept your forgiveness, and to share with others the grace you have given us. We ask in Jesus’ name, Amen. |
