Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
On this day of glory and light, we rejoice in your power and love, O Lord. On a mountain you revealed yourself, and established your place above all Creation. Because of you, we need not fear, and because of you we dare to hope - we are called to hope, so sure is your promise. With Christ as the victor, we cannot lose. And still, we worry. We seek dark places. We experience terror and let it overwhelm the light. Forgive us, Holy One, and mend our broken clay. Build us up as vessels of your love, fearless and joyful in the face of any challenge, confident always of your presence in all of life. We ask always in Jesus' name, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Dirk Voerman |
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. |

Passing of the Peace | I Love to Tell the Story | 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. |
