Piano by Matthew Will

(*Please stand for items marked with an asterisk.)

Call to Worship - (Psalm 100) Peter Herzog

Leader: Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

People: Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with

joyful singing.

Leader: Know that the Lord Himself is God;

it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves:

we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

People: Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with

praise.

Leader: Give thanks to Him; bless His name.

People: For the Lord is good;

His loving kindness is everlasting,

and His faithfulness to all generations.

*Hymn - “Gather Us In” STF #2236

*Prayer of Confession Sami Fulton

All: Forgiving God, we give you thanks for your

unconditional love and ask that you enable us to love

each other unconditionally, too. Forgive us for not

always answering when others ask, “Who do you say

that I am?” Forgive us for ignoring those in our midst

who are different from ourselves in age, race, gender,

sexual orientation, education level, and economic status.

Forgive us for the times we so easily conform to the

language and actions of this world. Forgive us for

taking the easy way out with texts, emails, or Facebook,

instead of confronting each other face to face. Forgive

us, God, and make us whole again. In the name of the

One who came to save us, we pray, Amen

Silence is kept.

*Words of Assurance Kurt Schuehler

Leader: Friends, hear and believe the good news! Anyone who

is in Christ is a new creation; our old lives are gone and

our new lives have already begun. Know that we are

all forgiven and be at peace. Amen.

*Congregational Response - “Sanctuary” STF #2164 (sing twice)

Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary,

pure and holy, tried and true.

With thanksgiving,

I’ll be a living sanctuary for you.

*Sharing of the Peace Kurt Schuehler

Leader: The peace of Christ be with you.

People: And also with you.

*Hymn - “ Decade of the Child”

tune of “I Sing the Mighty Power of God” PH #288

Help us to show your love, O Christ, to children in our care,

and reach beyond till every child is held in love and prayer,

for, through neglect, abuse and sin, some children suffer pain.

They never learn to live and seek a rainbow through the rain.

When children need a helping hand to lift or to inspire,

may we, your church, be present there to give what they require.

For love, our God has made us all, God’s children everywhere,

to live in joyful harmony, to be the best we dare.

May we learn well what children teach: an open mind and heart,

an energizing zest for life, a willingness to start.

Grant us the grace to be child-like, approaching all our days

with eager, playful, lively joy, in loving, hope-filled praise.

Please join us in the lounge for

coffee and fellowship time.

Now we will sing our praise of Christ, born many years ago,

a child who grew both wise and strong, God’s love for us to show,

in stories told to people then, remembered still today,

Christ shows in every deed and word what we should do and say.

*Benediction

*Postlude

Go Forward and Serve!

Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

and with all your soul, and with all your might.

Recite them to your children and talk about them

when you are at home and when you are away,
