Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Sara McCurdy |
God all, creator of all things larger than our imagining and small beyond our notice, we praise you that your image resides in each of us, and that everything bears your mark. Yet we confess that we have limited our perception of your unlimited grace. Hear us, heal us, deliver us from the boundaries we create, and set us free to serve you in the ministries you have called us to. This we pray in your mighty name. Amen. |
||
Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder John Evans |
Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, was risen for us, and reigns in power over us. Sisters and brothers hear this good news. Through Christ we are forgiven and reconciled with the Creator of all. |

Passing of the Peace | Let Us Build A House | 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 |
