Welcoming the Light of Christ and inviting the neighborhood to worship

CALL TO WORSHIP
The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, 
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 
born of the Virgin Mary, 
suffered under Pontius Pilate, 
was crucified, died, and was buried; 
he descended to the dead. 
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven, 
is seated at the right hand of the Father, 
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, 
the holy universal church, 
the communion of saints, 
the forgiveness of sins, 
the resurrection of the body, 
and life everlasting.

Calling Hymn    “Open Our Eyes”    TFWS #2086  
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus, 
to reach out and touch him, and say that we love him.
Open our ears, Lord, and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord,  we want to see Jesus.  

Unison Invocation
O God our Father, 
who sent your Son to be King of kings and Lord of lords; 
we pray that all the kingdoms of this world may become His kingdom
and learn from him the way to live as Your children.
In His name we pray. Amen.

The Communion Service
Communion Hymn    “My Life Flows On”   TFWS 2212
​

​





























​Communion Service (continued) 
Our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another. 

Let us confess our sin before God and one another.

Prayer of Confession and Pardon
Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you 
with our whole heart.
Our faith has been tested and we have stumbled.
Our feet have strayed from the path of Christ 
and we have wandered from you.
We have put our faith in the loud voices of this world, 
ignoring your whispers.
Forgive us, we pray.
We do want to follow Jesus, the Christ, in whose name we pray.
Amen.

Hear the good news;
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love for us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
Thanks be to God!

Bread and Cup
Please come forward to receive the bread and the cup. Take them with you to the building entrance. We will stand in a circle and partake together. 

Please pray:
Eternal God, we give you thanks for this holy mystery
in which “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
Strengthen us in mind, body and soul for the days ahead.
May your Spirit fill us as we live and pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Closing Song    “Go Tell It On The Mountain”   UMH #251
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.

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.
