Worship Service 10:15am October 29, 2017 Thoughts for the Day “May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.” -Pope Francis “Why do we people in churches seem like cheerful, brainless tourists on a packaged tour of the Absolute?” -Annie Dillard “The whole world is a theater for the display of the divine goodness, wisdom, justice, and power, but the Church is the orchestra..." -John Calvin For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” -1 Cor. 11:23-25

WE GATHER IN GRATEFUL WORSHIP

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Songs of Praise By Your Side

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

Unison Prayer of Confession Living God, You are the One who is always on the move, always creating and re-creating, always doing a new thing. And yet, we confess, Lord, that our lives can become static, routinely paralyzed by doubt and fear. We remain hardened in patterns of greed, covetousness, and self-interest. We doubt your promises of abundant, everlasting life and so we live in dread of our neighbors, our friends, and our enemies. Our souls remain still. We do not love as you love. Nor do we live as you would have us live, with courage, generosity or the boldness of the gospel. So in the silence of our hearts, we offer up to you those things we have done and those we have left undone. (silence) Forgive us, O God. Renew us by your Spirit, and reform us with your compassion, remaking us more fully in to the image of Christ, and as nimble servants of your reign. Amen.
