A Time of Confession Song of Confession

Healer of My Soul

Healer of my soul, keep me at even’, keep me at morning, keep me at noon, Healer of my soul. Keeper of my soul, on rough course faring. Help and safeguard my means this night, Keeper of my soul. I am tired, astray and stumbling, shield my soul from the snare of sin. Healer of my soul, keep me at even’, keep me at morning, keep me at noon, Healer of my soul.

Assurance of Forgiveness Every promise we can make, every prayer and step of faith, every difference we will make is only by His grace. Every mountain we will climb, every ray of hope we shine, every blessing left behind is only by his grace. Refrain: Grace alone which God supplies, strength unknown he will provide. Christ in us our Cornerstone; we will go forth in grace alone. Every soul we long to reach, every heart we hope to teach, everywhere we share his peace is only by his grace. Every loving word we say, every tear we wipe away, every sorrow turned to praise is only by his grace. Refrain

Psalm 62:5-12 (The Message)

God, the one and only—I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not? He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, an impregnable castle: I’m set for life. My help and glory are in God—granite-strength and safe-harbor-God—So trust him absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for him. God is a safe place to be. Man as such is smoke, woman as such, a mirage. Put them together, they’re nothing; two times nothing is nothing. And a windfall, if it comes—don’t make too much of it. God said this once and for all; how many times have I heard it repeated? “Strength comes straight from God.” Love to you, Lord God! You pay a fair wage for a good day’s work!

We Are Called

The Eucharist Invitation to the Table The Great Thanksgiving & Lord’s Prayer 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.

Prayer After Communion

Sending Children’s Offering *Song

Growing Young Disciples Exploring God’s Word

Sing! Sing a new song! Sing of that great day when all will be one! God will reign, and we’ll walk with each other as sisters and brothers united love! Refrain

Mark 1:14-20 (NRSV) 2172

Come! Live in the light! Shine with the joy and the love of the Lord! We are called to be light for the kingdom, to live in the freedom of the city of God! Refrain We are called to act with justice, we are called to love tenderly, we are called to serve one another, to walk humbly with God. Come! Open your heart! Show your mercy to all those in fear! We are called to be hope for the hopeless so all hatred and blindness will be no more! Refrain

Together We Serve Together we serve, united in love, inviting God’s world to the glorious feast. We work and we pray through sorrow and joy, extending your love to the last and the least. We seek to become a beacon of hope, a lamp for the heart and a light for the feet. We learn, year by year, to let love shine through until we see Christ in each person we meet. We welcome the scarred, the wealthy, the poor, the busy, the lonely, and all who need care. We offer a home to those who will come, our hands quick to help, our hearts ready to dare. Together, by grace, we witness and work, remembering Jesus, in whom we grow strong. Together we serve in Spirit and truth, remembering love is the strength of our song.

Gathering Words of Welcome *Song

Come, Share the Lord

2269

We gather here in Jesus name, his love is burning in our hearts like living flame; for through the loving Son the Father makes us one: Come, take the bread; come, drink the wine, come, share the Lord. No one is a stranger here, everyone belongs; finding our forgiveness here, we in turn forgive all wrongs. He joins us here, he breaks the bread, the Lord who pours the cup is risen from the dead; the one we love the most is now our gracious host: Come, take the bread; come, drink the wine, come, share the Lord. We are now a family of which the Lord is head; through unseen he meets us here in the braking of the bread. We’ll gather soon, where angels sing; We’ll see the glory of our Lord and coming King; Now we anticipate the feast for which we wait: Come, take the bread; come, drink the wine, come, share the Lord.
