grace among us.
All: With gratitude we thank you, that you have carried us
and guided us.
Leader: We are part of the whole community of Creation. With all
living things we praise you, that you make us one.
All: We are a community that learns together. With humility
we listen for your Word. May we learn from one
another, and grow deeper in our love.

*OPENING HYMN
They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love TFWS 2223 vs. 1,3,4
1. We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, we are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord, and we pray that all unity may one day be restored:

REFRAIN: And they’ll know we are Christians by our love,
by our love; yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.

3. We will work with each other, we will work side by side, we will work with each other, we will work side by side, and we’ll guard human dignity and save human pride: [REFRAIN]

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Michele Wersal
We are not alone, we live in God’s world.
We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church: to celebrate God’s presence, to live with respect in Creation, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God.

Where 2 or 3 Are Gathered - There Could Be an Argument

HOLY COMMUNION Rev. Ginger Watson
God is with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to God.
Let us give thanks to the Holy One, our God.
It is good and beautiful to give God our praise.

God, we give you thanks, for you create this world
as one living being, a community of life and beauty.
You set us free from what imprisons us. You make us a community, siblings in your care, neighbors in your realm of mercy. You give us freedom, and invite us to this table as one,
a community of love, all redeemed by your grace.
Therefore with one voice with all Creation we sing your praise.

Holy, holy, holy One, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of God.
Hosanna in the highest.

Therefore, in remembrance of these, your mighty acts in Jesus Christ. we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a living and holy sacrifice in union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of our faith:

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

MUSIC DURING COMMUNION

PRAYER AFTER RECEIVING
Eternal God, we give you thanks for this holy mystery in which you have given yourself to us. Grant that we may go into the world in the strength of your Spirit, to give ourselves for others, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

*CLOSING HYMN
O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee UMH 430 vs. 1,2,3
1. O Master, let me walk with thee in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care.

2. Help me the slow of heart to move by some clear, winning word of love; teach me the wayward feet to stay, and guide them in the homeward way.

3. Teach me thy patience; still with thee in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs over wrong;

*BENEDICTION Rev. Ginger Watson

*CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE
Sweet holy spirit, sweet heavenly Dove, stay right here with us, filling us with your love; and for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise; without a doubt we’ll know that we have been revived when we shall leave this place.

PRELUDE

*CALL TO WORSHIP Michele Wersal
Leader: Holy God, may we honor your name not by paying it lip
service, but by trusting the vision it speaks of and the way
it calls for.
People: May we honor your name by following you with our
actions and our love.

*OPENING HYMN
Love Devine, All Loves Excelling UMH 384 vs. 1,2,3
1. Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down; fix in us thy humble dwelling; all thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart.

2. Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit; let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.

3. Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return and never, nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.

*OPENING PRAYER Michele Wersal
God of all races, nations, and religions, you know that we cannot change others, nor can we change the past. But we can change ourselves. We can join you in changing our future where you reign the same over all. Help us not to say, "Lord, Lord" to any tribal gods, but to hear the one God of all the earth, and to do God's good thing for this one world.

Here I Am, Lord UMH 593
1. I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin my hand will save.
I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

REFRAIN:
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

2. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them. They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send?
(REFRAIN)

3. I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame,
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.

Strong deliverer, strong deliverer, be thou still my strength and shield; be thou still my strength and shield.

death of death and hell's destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to thee;

with heart, soul, and mind!

*OPENING HYMN
For the Healing of the Nations UMH 428 vs. 1,2,4
1 For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords;
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word, help us rise and pledge our word.

2 Lead us forward into freedom; from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase, fear will die and hope increase.

4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find, earth its destiny may find.

*OPENING PRAYER Michele Wersal
Loving God, we are quick to draw lines and exclude people we deem unworthy of help, or less than us. Jesus taught us to look beyond all those judgments and to see each person as a beloved child of yours. Help us to love freely, with open hearts and minds. Amen.
