Pre-worship Music Bread of Heaven, on Thee We Feed  Praise Band
ONE: May the peace of Christ be with you.
ALL: And also with you.

Gathering Song God Welcomes All  Hymn #399
Leader: The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart
People: If we confess with our lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved.
Leader: For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
People: Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Leader: Let us worship God!

Welcoming My Peace  Rev. Suzanne Swartz
ALL:  O God, when trials beset us it is natural to fear. Called to be courageous, we find our faith lacking. When asked to take risks, we confess our complacency. By ignoring injustice, we hope that it will subside. You have shown us how you are a God to be trusted. Leading your people, you have stayed by their side. Even Christ overcame his enemies as he hung on the cross. Forgive our reluctance to believe in your guidance, and grant us the wisdom to seek refuge in Christ

Life of the Church We Have Come Into His House  Elder Christine Lutke
As God has driven the sea back by a strong east wind, dividing the waters and making of the sea a dry land, so now in Christ, God gives us a rock upon which to stand. Today, know that Christ is merciful and intercedes on our behalf. He is our redeemer in whom we rest forgiven.

Passing of the Peace Come, Christians Join to Sing  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.

Prelude Precious Lord, Take My Hand  Praise Band
Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me
Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me
Melt me mold me, fill me use me
Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me

* Call to Worship (Responsive) Ave verum by Mozart  from Romans 10
O God, we go forth to serve you, wherever Christ calls us. Bless our endeavors to make his name known. May all that we do be unto your glory, the talents we offer are the gifts of your love. As you accept us in Christ, so also acknowledge our efforts. Use what is of value to further his teachings, and what is inadequate enhance with your grace. Hear this our prayer, O God of benevolence!
