Opening Prayer
Come and worship,
everyone on earth,
everywhere the sun shines,
let’s praise God together!

For listening when we call,
answering our prayers,
forgiving our mistakes,
and providing what we need:
let’s praise God together!

Come and worship,
everyone on earth,
everywhere the sun shines,

Opening Hymn — FWS #2223 They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love

1. We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity
May one day be restored

Refrain
And they’ll know we are Christians
By our love by our love
Yes they’ll know we are Christians
By our love

2. We will walk with each other
We will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other
We will walk hand in hand
And together we’ll spread the news
That God is in our land

3. We will work with each other
We will work side by side
We will work with each other
We will work side by side
And we’ll guard each man’s dignity
And save each man’s pride

From whom all things come
And all praise to Christ Jesus
His only Son
And all praise to the Spirit
Who makes us one

Joys and Concerns — Pastoral Prayer

Pastoral Prayer

In times of weakness and hour of need,
yours is the strength by which we carry on,
the shoulder we rest our head upon.
When our load is heavy and too much to bear,
yours are the arms stretched out to help us
the grace that we depend on.
In times of weakness and hour of need,
your voice is heard,
‘Come… find rest.’
This is grace divine,
the path we tread to wholeness
of body and spirit,
the path that leads to you,
and for which we offer our offering of praise.

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, the power, and glory forever.  Amen.


Offering Our Gifts to the Lord
For those who are called and able, gifts and tithes can still be made through online giving, by mailing them in, and by dropping them off to the office through the secure mail slot to the left of the double door entry to the church hallway.

Benediction

As we go from here, remember this:
As followers of Jesus Christ,
we have not received a spirit of fear,
but one of hope and confidence.
For we are children of God,
members of God’s own family,
and heirs with Jesus Christ himself.
So go out with joy to love and serve the Lord.
