ONE: In the wilderness, water brings life. ALL: Seek us out, O God, and take us to the water. ONE: In the Word of God, the good news gives life. ALL: Seek us out, O God, and fill us with understanding. ONE: In the bread and the wine, the body and blood of our Savior nourishes everyone. ALL: Seek us out, O God, and give us yourself. ONE: Here is the water of life, the word that feeds, the food of eternity. We praise the vine that gives all that is good. Let us worship God. |

Gathering Song | God Welcomes All | Hymn #399 |
God of grace and God of mercy, we confess that we have not borne the fruit of the Spirit. We have not loved others as you have loved us. We have denied the promises of baptism and cut ourselves off from you. Forgive us, we pray, and restore us, that we may abide in your love and live out your mercy, for the Sake of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen. |
||
Welcoming | My Peace | Rev. Sally Willis-Watkins |
We have already been cleansed by the word that God has spoken to us. In baptism God claimed us and joined us to Christ, as branches to a vine. Friends, believe the good news of the gospel: in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Hallelujah! Amen. |
||
Passing of the Peace | Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether | Congregarion |
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. |
