Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
We continue our walk with you, O Lord, seeking to grow in our understanding and commitment. We are filled with praise and overflowing with thanksgiving for all you have done and all you have given. Truly, the hour is moving on and the crowds are thinning out as you move toward your cross. But, you, O Lord, are giving your all. Forgive us when we return so little thinking we are generous and gracious in our response. Forgive us as we fall short of your glory yet you welcome us with open arms. Uphold and answer us as we look into the darkness and fail to recognize who and what you are. Thank you for your gracious love, grace, and mercy that reaches far beyond the laws and rituals that we make up. Thank you for loving us in spite of our sin and falling short of your glory as we pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Dick Schultz |
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 | Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing | 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. |
