Call to Worship

We come to this place where God pours out love on us,

we join our voices in praise, as our fears are left behind.

We gather with these people, those who seek to follow Jesus,

so we might walk the paths of service hand in hand.

We open our hearts to the gifts of the Spirit,

so that grace and peace might be the fruit we bear.

O give thanks to the Lord;

for God’s steadfast love endures forever.

Prayer of Praise and Adoration

Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession

God, you have never taken your steadfast love from us.

Everyday you love us, uphold us, provide for us.

But so often we give our attention and our energy to other messages

of love that beckon us daily.

We talk about how much we love things, special possessions, objects for purchase.

We worry about who loves us and fight with those we are supposed to love.

We are guilty of behaviors that cheapen and demean the meaning of love.

We judge the love between others that is different from our experience.

We are afraid to love and we let past mistakes and pain rule our lives.

Forgive us for failing to love as you have loved us.

(silent prayers of confession)

Declaration of Forgiveness (Titus 3:4-8)

“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us,

not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his

mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he

poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified

by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

Thanks be to God! In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.

*Hymn of Response Glory to God

Offertory His Love is Flowing Like a River Jill Gallina, 1982

Chancel Choir

His love is flowing like a river, a gentle stream that knows no end.

And as you sail along life’s pathways, his love will guide you round each bend.

His love is flowing like a river, a well that springs eternally.

If you should drift along life’s journey, his love will like an anchor be.

His cup is overflowing with love for you. Drink from the gentle waters, fill your heart, too.

His love is flowing like a river, a gentle stream that knows no end.

If you should drift along your journey, his love will bring you home again.

The Potter’s Hand – a Summer of Art,

Art Making and Discerning God

“Arts exist at the heart of faith: faith is not a

concrete experience,

so we need arts to express our faith.”

Throughout the summer, FAVO, Faith Arts

Village Orlando, will host Sunday night

gatherings to explore ways to understand

and express faith through the arts. Each time

we gather, there will be 3 focuses:

▫ We will hear from an artist about

their art, their own experience of

creating art.

▫ We will share a devotion or

theme from scripture.

▫ We will create an artistic

response.

The following Sunday evenings, 5 pm, at the

Faith, Arts Village (FAVO)

June 3 and 17

July 1, 15, 29

August 5, 19

Space will be limited. Donations will be

gladly accepted to help cover supplies.
