Sharing the Peace
Song Come to Me, All Pilgrims Thirsty Music: The Sacred Harp; Text: Delores Dufner
Come to me, all pilgrims thirsty;
drink the water I will give.
If you knew what gift I offer,
you would come to me and live.
Chorus:
Jesus, ever flowing fountain,
give us water from your well.
In the gracious gift you offer
there is joy no tongue can tell.
Come to me, all trav'lers weary;
come that I may give you rest.
Drink the cup of life I offer;
at this table be my guest."
Come to me, believers burdened;
find refreshment in this place.
Come, receive the gift I offer,
turn to me and seek my face.

Confession
To you, O God, all hearts are open, to you all desires known. We come to you, confessing our sins. Forgive us in your mercy, and remember us in your love. Show us your ways; teach us your paths; and lead us in justice and truth, for the sake of your goodness in Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
Words of Forgiveness
Song of Praise Your River O God by Larry Olson and Hans Peterson
Chorus:
Your river, O God, is full of water
water alive with justice and grace
Your river, O God,
it flows with mercy for every child
through every time and place
Every birth on this earth
speaks the mystery
Every heart, from the start,
light for all to see
Come and hear all who fear,
you are not alone
Come and see, be set free,
rest here in your home
As we grow, may we know,
waves of hope surround
As we live may we give
love that has no bounds

Message
Song Beautiful Savior Text: Gesangbuch, Münster; tr. Joseph A. Seiss
Beautiful Savior, King of creation,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Truly I'd love thee, truly I'd serve thee,
light of my soul, my joy, my crown.
Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight,
bright the sparkling stars on high;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels in the sky.
Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be thine!

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.

Prayers
Prayer Song Holy River by Brian Schroeder
God, river of life
Winding us through
your mercy's stream
God, river of life
Healing our wounds,
making us free
God, river of life
Cooling our fears,
running to peace
God, river of life
Washing our tears,
our yearnings to cease
Bridge:
Let the waters wear away,
wear away stone
Let the current carry me,
carry me home
Chorus:
Flow, flow, holy river
Flow, flow, holy river

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.
