Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
Life is good, O Lord, and your Creation is beautiful. There is nothing to compare with mountains that reach to the sky, the nurturing sound of rushing water, or the song of a bird on the wing. You have painted your earth with color and light, and soil to be tilled and planted that none may be hungry. We give thanks to you for so much that we take for granted, and we look away as we wonder why we plunder this world and one another? Why, O God, do hate and fear guide our hands? We are ashamed and ask your forgiveness, your healing and your guidance. Let the strength and trust we find in you break down the walls of distrust and build communities of friendship and sharing. We humbly ask in Jesus name to be your hands and your heart as we follow in the footsteps of your Son, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | David Smith |
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 | God of Grace and God of Glory | 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 |
Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and your Word is proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen |
