Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
(By grace we have been saved through faith; and this is not our own doing; it is a gift from God) God of every people and nation, we are thankful for the gift of life and the blessings we have received. We confess that we have not lived as you would have us live in your realm of justice and peace. We build walls that divide, we argue among ourselves, we ignore suffering in distant nations and live in fear of our neighbor. Forgive us, God of Grace. Pour out your Spirit of peace upon us, tear down the walls that divide, and raise us up to be a holy temple, your temple of peace in the world, built on the cornerstone of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Jeff Morgan |
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 | O Day of Rest and Gladness | 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. |

* Opening Hymn | Now Thank We All Our God | Hymn #393 (all) |
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen |
