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.
Come to me, repentant sinners;
leave behind your guilt and shame.
Come and know divine compassion,
turn to me, I call your name."

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.

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 The King of Love My Shepherd Is by Henry Williams Baker
The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine forever.
Where streams of living water flow,
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

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.”
