Sharing the Peace
Gathering Song Gather Us In by Nate Houge
Chorus
Gather us in. Gather us in.
God only knows
where we have been.
Gather us in. Gather us in.
We have come for mercy.
We have come for peace.
We have come with heavy hearts
looking for release.
God is God of mercy.
God is God of peace.
God has felt our heavy hearts
God has set them free.

Confession
Word 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 of the Day Be Thou My Vision Text: Eleanor H. Hull; Music: Irish traditional
Be thou my vision,
O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me,
save that thou art:
thou my best thought both
by day and by night,
waking or sleeping,
thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom,
and thou my true word;
I ever with thee
and thou with me, Lord.
Thou my soul's shelter,
and thou my high tow'r,
raise thou me heav'nward,
O Pow'r of my pow'r.
Light of my soul,
after victory won,
may I reach heaven's joys,
O heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart,
whatever befall,
still be my vision,
O Ruler of all.

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.

Lamb of God by Jonathan Rundman
Lamb of God you take away
the sin of the world

the sin of the world
Have mercy, mercy on us
Lamb of God you take away
the sin of the world
Oh grant us peace
Lamb of God

May your light lead us, O God.
Wherever we go,
whatever we do.
May your light shine
