*CLOSING HYMN
Pass It On UMH 572
1. It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
and soon all those around can warm up in its glowing.
That’s how it is with God’s love once you’ve experienced it;
you spread his love to everyone; you want to pass it on.

2. What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding;
the birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That’s how it is with God’s love once you’ve experienced it;
you want to sing, it’s fresh, you want to pass it on.

3. I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that I’ve found;
you can depend on him, it matters not where you’re bound.
I’ll shout it from the mountaintop; I want my world to know;
the Lord of love has come to me, I want to pass it on.

*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: Blessed are we
All: when our treasures cannot be quantified.
Leader: Blessed are we
All: when our knowledge is tempered by mystery.
Leader: Blessed are we
All: when our pain is held in the balm of love.
Leader: Blessed are we
All: when our delight comes from beyond ourselves.

*OPENING HYMN
My Hope Is Built UMH 368 vs. 1,3,4
1. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Refrain:
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand; all other ground is sinking sand.

3. His oath, his covenant, his blood supports me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. (Refrain)

4. When he shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in him be found! Dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne! (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.

PRELUDE

*CALL TO WORSHIP Michele Wersal
Leader: The kingdom of God is here, and coming.
People: A mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his
field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has
grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so
that the birds of the air come and make nests in its
branches.
Leader: The kingdom of God is here, and coming.
People: Yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three
measures of flour until all was leavened.
Leader: The kingdom of God is here, and coming.
People: Treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid;
then joyfully sells all he has and buys the field.
Leader: The kingdom of God is here, and coming.
People: A merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one of
great value, sells all of his possessions and buys the pearl.
The kingdom of God is here and coming!

*OPENING HYMN
Jesus Calls Us UMH 398 vs. 1,2,5
1. Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me!"

2. As of old the apostles heard it by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for Jesus' sake.

5. Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.

*OPENING PRAYER Michele Wersal
O God of us all, meet us here today and teach us to recognize the covenant of justice, peace and love you have written on our hearts. By your grace, may our desires become your desires, our work become your work, and our community the place where you are sought and found. Amen.

Take Up Thy Cross UMH 415 vs. 1,2,4
1. "Take up thy cross," the Savior said, "if thou wouldst my disciple be; deny thyself, the world forsake, and humbly follow after me."

2. Take up thy cross, let not its weight fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear thy spirit up, and brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.

4. Take up thy cross and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down; for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown.

Take Time to Be Holy UMH 395 vs. 1,2,4
1. Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; abide in him always, and feed on his word. Make friends of God's children, help those who are weak, forgetting in nothing his blessing to seek.

2. Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; spend much time in secret with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, like him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct his likeness shall see.

4. Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul, each thought and each motive beneath his control. Thus led by his spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
