Migrants and Refugees

“Forced to Flee”

Prelude

We sing for those whose song

is silent, whose hidden hurt no

tune could bear— children

whose innocence of loving

We Sing for Those Whose Song is Silent

has long since gone beyond

repair. God, who conceived

and gave us birth, listen for

those who’ve lost their worth.

Gathering Song

Gloria

Psalm

Your ways, O Lord,

make known to me;

teach me your paths,

guide me in your truth

and teach me,

for you are God my savior.

Remember that

your compassion, O Lord,

and your love

are from of old.

In your kindness

remember me,

because of your goodness,

O Lord.

Good and upright

is the Lord;

thus he shows sinners

the way.

He guides the humble

to justice,

and teaches the humble

his way.

Gospel

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God,

the Father almighty,

Creator of heaven

and earth,

and in Jesus Christ,

his only Son, our Lord,

(Bow)

Who was conceived by the

Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under

Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died,

and was buried

he descended into hell;

on the third day

he rose again

from the dead;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated

at the right hand of

God the Father almighty;

from there 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 life everlasting. Amen.

Meditation

Where charity and love prevail

There God is ever found;

Brought here together by Christ’s

love by love are we thus bound.

No race nor creed can love

exclude. If honored by God’s

name; our family embraces all.

Whose father is the same.
