*Call to Worship – Holly K.
We come to the Lord’s table, where there is no slave or free, no foreigner or citizen.

Like Paul, we are called to reconcile. Like Onesimus, we are restored. Like Philemon, we open our hearts.
In Christ, we are one. In communion, we are the body. In worship, we are hope.
Come, let us worship the God who unites and transforms.
Amen.

*Prayer of Confession
Holy God, we confess that we do not always love our neighbor.
We have hurt and been hurt. Sometimes, forgiveness feels
impossible. But in You, all things are possible. Heal our
wounds, and help us live in peace, seeking reconciliation and
love, just as Your Son did among us. Amen.

Great Thanksgiving
The Lord be with you. And also, with you.
Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.
Demos gracias al Senor Nuestro Dios. It is right to give thanks
and praise.
And so, with your people on earth and all the
company of heaven,
We praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
And so, in remembrance of these, your mighty acts in Jesus
Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgivings, a holy and
living sacrifice, in union with Christ’s offering for us,
As we proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.
--Pastor continues with the blessing of the elements.

All: The Lords Prayer: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name . . .
