Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Elder Dick Schultz |
We rejoice, O God, in your splendor and your grace. We rejoice in your love for us. No cloud can keep your light from shining, no pain destroy our hope, for you are with us, always. Yet when our lives are good, we find no need for you. And when there is trouble, we wonder where you are. Forgive us, Lord, our doubt. Lead us back to you when we stray, and help us listen for your voice in this noisy world. For without you, we are empty, and with you, we are fulfilled. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Morella Larsen |
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 | Wonderful Words of Life | 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. |
||
Prelude | Gloria Patri | Praise Band |
Guide us, O God, by your Word and Spirit, that in your light we may see light, in your truth find freedom, and in your will discover your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen |
