CALL TO WORSHIP

Please join in on the bolded lines.

Friends of God, believe this – God loves the world, we are the beloved!

May the truth of this great love story, shine through our worship today, and renew our sense of calling.

So come, with your tiredness,
your frustrations and your discouragements;
come with your doubts, your fears, and your longings;
come, to discover yet again
how Jesus reveals God’s love and mercy.

Come, in friendship to God and to each other,
and in friendship to the world,
to listen for God’s Word to us,
to offer our prayers, and to renew our calling.

Friends of God, let us worship together!

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father in heaven,
        hallowed be your Name,
        your kingdom come,
        your will be done,
        on earth as in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins
        as we forgive those
        who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, 
        and deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, 
        and the power,
        and the glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

BENEDICTION

You are invited to hold your hands out, palm-up as we receive this benediction.

Just as God’s Word was sent into the world to heal and redeem,
so God sends you into the world this day;
to be light and love, healing and hope.
Go now to be light for the world!
And may the grace and peace of God the Creator,
the Redeemer, and the Sustainer
come upon you this day
and remain with you always.
Amen.
