Sharing the Peace

Gathering Song Come to the Water of Life by Ray Makeever

All who are thirsty for mercy,

all who are thirsty for love;

all who are thirsty for love, 

for mercy, come:

come to the Water of life.

All who are thirsty for healing,

all who are thirsty for touch;

all who are thirsty for touch, 

for healing, come:

come to the Water of life.

All who are thirsty for beauty,

all who are thirsty for truth;

all who are thirsty for truth,

for beauty, come:

come to the Water of life.

All who are thirsty for justice,

all who are thirsty for peace;

all who are thirsty for peace, 

for justice, come:

come to the Water of life.

Confession

Most merciful God, we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.  Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

Message

Song of the Day Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound Text: John Newton; Music: W. Walker Southern Harmony

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares 

I have already come;

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me;

his word my hope secures;

he will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures.

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 We Go Out With the Spirit of God By Nate Houge

We go out with the spirit of God

Guiding us in the ways we will go

Showing us how 

to live what we know

leading us unto God

leading us unto God

Lord keep us safe 

and protect all our ways

In our trouble 

please be our strength

In our stumbling 

show us your grace

That we may see your face

that we may see your face
