GATHERING TOGETHER
Welcome to God’s grace – where the world’s labels don’t apply.
Step into God’s time and presence. Hear God’s gentle whisper: “Be still and know that I am God.”
Let your body and mind rest, and open your heart to God in worship and prayer. Welcome each
other in the love of Christ. Extend hospitality to those new in our midst. “This is the day the Lord has
made. Let us rejoice in it!”

GATHERING SONG
“THAT’S WHY WE PRAISE HIM” TOMMY WALKER
Verse 1: He came to live, live a perfect life.
He came to be the Living Word, our Light.
He came to die, so we’d be reconciled.
He came to rise to show his pow’r and might.
Chorus: That’s why we praise him, that’s why we sing.
That’s why we offer him our everything.
That’s why we bow down and worship this King.
‘Cause he gave his everything.
‘Cause he gave his everything.
Verse 2: He came to live, live again in us.
He came to be our conquering King and Friend.
He came to heal and show the lost ones his love.
He came to go prepare a place for us. (Chorus) CCLI#1028901

In the stillness, you are there.
In the secret, in the quiet hour I wait only for you

I want to see your face,
I want to know you more.

That I might receive the prize.
Pressing onward, pushing ev’ry hindrance aside,
Out of my way, ‘cause, I want to know you more. (Chorus twice)

SIT
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

Blessed be the holy Trinity, +one God, whose steadfast love is everlasting,
whose faithfulness endures from generation to generation. Amen
Trusting in the mercy of God, let us confess our sin.
Silence is kept for reflection.
3
Reconciling God,
We confess that we do not trust your abundance, and we deny your
presence in our lives. We place our hope in ourselves and rely on our
own efforts. We fail to believe that you provide enough for all. We
abuse your good creation for our own benefit. We fear difference and
do not welcome others as you have welcomed us. We sin in thought,
word, and deed. By your grace, forgive us; through your love, renew
us; and in your Spirit, lead us; so that we may live and serve you in
newness of life. Amen
Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of divine mercy we have peace
with God through +Christ Jesus, through whom we have obtained grace
upon grace. Our sins are forgiven. Let us live now in hope. For hope does
not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through
the Holy Spirit. Amen

PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING
APOSTLES’ CREED
There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. United in Christ, let us
confess the faith we hold in common.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to
the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he
is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and
the life everlasting. Amen
SHARING THE MEAL

God feeds us with the presence of Jesus Christ.

Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us.
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 trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen

keep you in eternal love. Amen

Remember your promise, oh God.
