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 Day of Arising Text: Susan Palo Cherwien; Music: Carl F. Schalk

Day of arising,

Christ on the roadway,

unknown companion 

walks with his own.

When they invite him,

as fades the first day,

and bread is broken, 

Christ is made known.

When we are walking,

doubtful and dreading,

blinded by sadness, 

slowness of heart,

yet Christ walks with us,

ever awaiting

our invitation: 

Stay, do not part.

Lo, I am with you,

Jesus has spoken.

This is Christ's promise, 

this is Christ's sign:

when the church gathers,

when bread is broken,

there Christ is with us 

in bread and wine.

Christ, our companion,

hope for the journey, 

bread of compassion, 

open our eyes.

Grant us your vision,

set all hearts burning

that all creation 

with you may rise.

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.

the sin of the world

Song On Our Way Rejoicing Text: John S. B. Monsell; Music: Frances R. Havergal

On our way rejoicing  

gladly let us go.

Christ our Lord has conquered;

vanquished is the foe.

Christ without, our safety; 

Christ within, our joy;

who, if we be faithful,

can our hope destroy?

Chorus:

On our way rejoicing;

as we forward move,

hearken to our praises,

O blest God of love!

Unto God the Father

joyful songs we sing;

unto God the Savior

thankful hearts we bring;

unto God the Spirit

bow we and adore,

on our way rejoicing

now and evermore
