Gathering Song | God Welcomes All | Hymn #399 |
One: Jesus says, PžÄ |

Welcoming | My Peace | Rev. Bruce Myers |
One: As the apostle Paul reminds us, love is what fulfills the law. We do not always love God with whole hearts or love our neighbors as ourselves. But God loves us faithfully. With the confidence of beloved children, let us confess our sins before God and neighbor. All: Forgiving God, You teach us to seek reconciliation with those who have wronged us; for, above all else, we are to love one another. But we let resentment smolder until anger flares, destroying any chance of peace. We blame others and refuse to repent. Grant us grace, we pray. Make space in our wounded hearts for the possibility of forgiveness, and teach us to turn toward others in love as you have turned toward us. |
||
Passing of the Peace | Softly And Tenderly | Congregarion |
One: Salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is near. Friends, the light of Christ shines within and among us, dispelling the shadows of sin and death, and illuminating our path, that we might walk in newness of life. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! All: In the name of Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God. |

Life of the Church | Live Into Hope | Eric Ward |
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 | Alex Danson |
Faithful God, how blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Sanctify us by your Word and Spirit so that we may glorify you in the company of the faithful; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |

(A moment for silent reflection) | Ezekiel 33: 7-11 | Eric Ward |
