Welcome

Sharing the Peace

Song Where There Is Love by Ryan Marsh

Chorus:

Come on. Come in. 

We're all gathering.

Come on. Come in.

We're all gathering.

Think on God’s grace, not on your sin. 

We're all gathering.

Here you are loved and forgiven. 

We're all gathering.

‘Cause there’s friends 

here new and old 

and there’s 

stories to be told

And there’s bread and 

there’s wine to be shared

for where there’s love

God is truly there

‘Cause there's songs 

here to be sung 

and there’s welcome 

for everyone

And there’s bread and

there’s wine to be shared

For where there’s love

God is truly there

Confession

Have mercy, O God, Against you, you alone, we have sinned. In your compassion, cleanse us from our sin and take away our guilt. Create in us a new heart and give us a steadfast spirit. Do not cast us away, but fill us with your Holy Spirit and restore your joy within us. Amen.

Words of Forgiveness

Song of Praise Glory in the Highest by Jonathan Rundman

Chorus:

Glory in the highest 

Glory be to God 

Glory in the highest 

and peace to all the earth 

Shaper of the universe 

Thanks and praise we sing 

Loving father, caring mother 

Hold us in your wings 

Jesus Christ the Lamb of God 

You wash our sins away 

At your table all are welcome 

Hear us as we pray 

Holy Spirit source of life 

Burning wild and free 

You are God the three in one 

Such a mystery

Message

Song Praise The One Who Breaks The Darkness Music: J. Wyeth Repository of Sacred Music, Part II; Text: Rusty Edwards

Praise the One who breaks the darkness

with a liberating light;

praise the One who frees the pris'ners,

turning blindness inzto sight.

Praise the One who preached the gospel,

healing ev'ry dread disease,

calming storms and feeding thousands

with the very bread of peace.

Praise the One who blessed the children

with a strong yet gentle word;

praise the One who drove out demons

with a piercing, two-edged sword.

Praise the One who brings cool water

to the desert's burning sand;

from this well comes living water

quenching thirst in ev'ry land.

Praise the one true love incarnate:

Christ, who suffered in our place;

Jesus died and rose for many

that we may know God by grace.

Let us sing for joy and gladness,

seeing what our God has done.

Praise the one redeeming glory;

praise the One who makes us one.

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.
