Song Evening Hymn from Mountain Vespers by Kent Gustavson
Joyous light of glorious God
Heavenly Holy Jesus Christ
We have come to the setting of the sun,
and we look to the evening light.
We sing to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Our voices pure together.
O precious, God Giver of life.
we sing your praises forever.

Sermon
Song Come Now, You Blessed by Ruth Duck
"Come now, you blessed,
eat at my table,"
said Jesus Christ
to the righteous above.
"When I was hungry,
thirsty, and homeless,
sick and in prison,
you showed me your love."
When did we see you
hungry or thirsty?
When were you homeless,
a stranger alone?
When did we see you
sick or in prison?
What have we done that you
call us your own?
"When you gave bread
to earth's hungry children,
when you gave welcome
to war's refugees,
when you remembered
those most forgotten,
you cared for me
in the smallest of these."
Christ, when we meet you
out on life's roadways,
looking to us
in the faces of need,
then may we know you,
welcome and show you
love that is faithful
in word and in deed.

Prayer Song O God of Life By Brian Schroeder
O God of Life
All that is good is you
All that delights is you
All that gives life is you
O God of Life
You take delight in us
We see your life in us
How you reside with us
Pre Chorus:
Come on, come on
Everything that grows
Come on, come on
Everything that knows
Come on, come on
And join in the song of life
Chorus:
O God of life, we praise you
O God of life, we raise a song
to you in gratitude
O God of life, we worship
O God of life, we turn our hearts
to you in gratitude
O God of life
All the earth sings to you
Creation, it rings with you
New life, it springs from you
O God of life
You celebrate it all
With great joy, you made it all
With love, you sustain it all
And all shall be well

Song Prayer of Good Courage from Mountain Vespers by Kent Gustavson
O God, you have called us
To ventures where
we cannot see the end
By paths never yet taken
Through perils unknown
Give us good courage
Not knowing where we go
To know that your
hand is leading us
Wherever we might go
Amen
