P: Loving God, you are our creator and our maker. You watch over us. Forgive us God those times we have failed to acknowledge you; those times we have ignored you or thought that we were alone, the times when we have acted as if we could do all things by ourselves. ............... (silent prayer) ............... L: Loving God, you grant to us a family of flesh and blood and unite us through Christ with a family of the Spirit. P: Forgive us God for when we have failed to love our family, for when we have rejected those who have greeted us, or have shut our eyes and ears to their troubles. Forgive us when we closed ourselves to their songs and turned away from their celebrations. ............... (silent prayer) ............... L: Loving God, you call us to love one another as you love us and to let your Spirit guide and your word lead us each day. P: We confess that we do not always open our lives to you and through you, to one another. We so often act as if we are alone. As if there was nowhere to turn. Forgive us God. Heal our broken hearts, unite our broken families, and mend our broken world. ............... (silent prayer) ............... There Is a Redeemer #206

*The Confession of Faith (responsive; congregation read bold) L: Let us proclaim our Faith - following together with the words of the creed for World Communion Sunday.... P: We are not alone; we live in God's world. We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit. We trust in God. We are called to be the Church, to celebrate God's presence, to live with respect in creation, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our Judge and our Hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God! *Sharing the Peace (We greet those around us with a sign of peace (handshakes or hugs) and words like "The peace of the Lord be with you". This ancient tradition is an appropriate response to the peace that God gives to those who hear and do his word.) *The Hymn of Invitation Holy Communion Blest Be the Tie That Binds #286

Here is some helpful information as you join us in worship today: All who worship here are equals in the sight of God, regardless of race, age, gender, physical disability or religious affiliation. Communion, when celebrated, is open to all who profess Christ as Lord and Savior, whether affiliated with this church or not. Children may partake of Communion as well, if parents approve. A nursery is available during the service; please see a greeter for directions. (This is for infants and children up to 3 years of age.) Handicap-accessible restrooms are located off the narthex (main foyer) and adjacent to the entrance lobby in the Fellowship Hall/Gym. Please remember to sign the attendance cards and drop them in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit with us today.

It is a small group that meets on Sunday evenings to, yes, practice some songs, but also to fellowship, express concerns, reflect on a devotional together and pray for one another. Those in the choir are blessed to be in it together. Join the choir and find out why! They meet every Sunday evening at 6:00.
