Song Give Me Jesus African American spiritual
In the morning when I rise,
in the morning when I rise,
in the morning when I rise,
give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus,
give me Jesus.
You may have all the rest,
give me Jesus.
Dark midnight was my cry,
dark midnight was my cry,
dark midnight was my cry,
give me Jesus
And when I want to sing,
and when I want to sing,
and when I want to sing,
give me Jesus.

Confession
Gracious God, You invite us to your table: the faithful and the doubting, the restless and the hopeless, the addicted and the lonely, the lost and the confused. You invite us all, regardless of who we are or where we’ve been, but we fail to do the same. When given the opportunity, we are guilty of casting judgement on our neighbors. We draw lines, assume the worst, and accept exclusion. Forgive our harmful ways. Forgive us for doubting your invitation to new life. Show us how to love others the way you love us. With hope we pray. Amen.

For peace in the world,

For peace in our hearts,

For your Spirit to guide,
that you center our lives
in the water and the word,
that you nourish our souls
with your body and blood,
let us pray to the Lord,
let us pray to the Lord

Message
Song All of My Days by Richard Bruxvoort Colligan
Into green pastures,
beside the still waters
Along the good paths
and through the dark valleys
Refrain:
All of my days
God's mercy follows
All of my days
God’s love surrounds
All of my days,
all of my days
Among my enemies,
you call me to table
Your deepest blessing
my cup overflows
Always in God’s heart,
I shall be forever
Always in God’s heart,
I shall be forever

Apostles' Creed
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.

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; 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.

Song Go, My Children, with My Blessing Music: Welsh traditional; Text: Jaroslav J. Vajda
Go, my children,
with my blessing,
never alone.
Waking, sleeping,
I am with you,
you are my own.
In my love’s
baptismal river
I have made you
mine forever.
Go, my children,
with my blessing,
you are my own.”
“Go, my children,
sins forgiven,
at peace and pure.
Here you learned
how much I love you,
what I can cure.
Here you heard
my dear Son’s story,
here you touched him,
saw his glory.
Go, my children,
sins forgiven,
at peace and pure.”
“Go, my children,
fed and nourished,
closer to me.
Grow in love
and love by serving,
joyful and free.
Here my Spirit’s
power filled you,
here my tender
comfort stilled you.
Go, my children,
fed and nourished,
joyful and free.”
