Gathering Music: Fill My Cup Lord Fill my cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord. Come and quench this Thirsting of my soul. Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no More; fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.
Informal Moments : Rev. Robin Prelude: Accompanist: Shawn Ford Call to Worship: (Responsively) We have entered into the season of Lent. Sundays, however, are not a part of Lent. We have entered a wilderness time. Yet this day of worship is an oasis in the desert. We are here to worship the God of all creation. We gather to remember God’s revelation in Jesus. Today we revisit the garden of Eden. We remember God’s overflowing generosity. We worship God, who gives us choices and limits. Are we open to God’s counsel and instruction? Today we remember the temptations Jesus faced. We want to learn to make good choices. *Hymn: A ll Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name # 154 * Affirmation of Faith The Apostle’s Creed Pg. 881 *Gloria Patri *Invocation Passing the Peace of Christ Please sign your name in the black attendance book at the end of each pew and greet those around you.
