Call to Worship
We come in these endless days, Precious God, people in need of the constancy of your love:,
may we drink deeply from your fountain of life; may we continue to be guided by your Light.
We gather in these weary days, Water-changing God, people looking for signs of hope and wonder:
may we drink deeply from your fountain of grace; may our weariness be wrapped in your Hope.
We worship in these overwhelming days, Gifting God; May we be people who try to point others to Jesus:
may we drink deeply from your fountain of joy; may our life be strengthened by your Life…

 

* Hymn 327 “From All That Dwell Below the Skies”

* Confession of Sin
Michael Osborn, Worship Leader
Delight of the Ages, we cannot remain silent, but must speak of the ways we misuse your gifts.  In our desire to have more and more, we cause more damage to your good creation.  In our obsession with ourselves, we have desolated the lives of those around us.  When we hoard what you have given us, we cannot be a blessing to other people. Forgive us, Restless God, so we might be restored to life.  May your steadfast love save and strengthen us to share our gifts with others, even as you have shared the Gift of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Silence for personal confession

 

Assurance of Pardon
God delights in you. So much, that God will not rest until you are at peace.
God will not remain silent, but will call you by name: ‘My Delight.’
God’s steadfast love extends to the heavens, and reaches down to
touch our hearts. Thanks be to God who forgives and saves us! Amen.

Invitation to Discipleship

 

The 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 sins as we forgive those who sin 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. Amen.

 

* Hymn #761  “Called as Partners in Christ’s Service”

* News of the Kingdom

 

* Charge & Blessing
God sends us out to the lonely, the forsaken, all those forgotten in these weary times.
We will go to gather them up into the heart of love, to welcome them as our siblings.
Jesus calls us to throw a party for those who are hungry for hope, who thirst for justice.
We will go to be with those who sit at empty tables, who long to taste the sweet bouquet of grace.
The Spirit sends us forth, transformed from the foolish to the faithful.
We will go to those who walk in the muck of life, who yearn for new days, of joy and wonder. Amen.
