CALL TO WORSHIP
Calling Song:                           As the Deer                                         TFWS #2025

As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you.
 You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.
 You alone are my strength, my shield; to you alone may my spirit yield.
 You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.
 
RESPONSIVE READING:                           
Leader: Holy Spirit of God, invisible like the wind, we do not see you moving among us, but the effect we see. Come to our hearts. 
People:     That we may be renewed and reborn.
Leader:    Open our minds.
People:    That we may perceive your kingdom.
Leader:    Lift up our eyes to where the cross of Christ stands for our healing.
All:      So may we believe, and in believing not die, but have eternal life:   through Him who in your love for us you send into the world, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
 
*Unison Prayer                   
Blow, wind of God, blow away the tight rules that hold me back from trusting, risking, loving. Blow away my sin that stands in the way of encountering my neighbors. Ready me for birth. Prepare me for risk. Equip me with courage and vision for the new thing that waits around the corner. We cannot choose the stories we have inherited but we can choose the stories we become. Amen.

*Commitment Hymn     Holy God, We Praise Thy Name       UMH #79

Holy God, we praise they name; Lord of all, we bow before thee; all on earth they scepter claim; all in heaven above adore thee. Infinite thy vast domain; ever lasting is thy reign.
Hark, the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord.
Thou didst take the sting from death, Son of God, as Savior given; on the cross they dying breath opened wide the realm of heaven. In the glory of that land thou art set at God’s right hand.

Unison Benediction
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.

It is only takes a spark to get a fare going,
and soon all those around
can warm up in its glowing.
That’s how it is with God’s love
once you’ve experienced it;
you spread his love to everyone;
you want to pass it on.

I wish for you, my friend,
this happiness that I’ve found;
you can depend on him,
it matters not where you’re bound.
I’ll shout it from the mountaintop;
I want my world to know;
the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.
