Founded in 1840

A Congregation of the United Church of Christ

A “God is Still Speaking” Church

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.

As we rush from one crisis to another, we are in danger of forgetting the

wonder and wisdom at the core of the universe and the source of our lives in the way of Christ. May we tune our ears to the song of God. May

seeds of the melody grow in and thorough us. Amen.

The Church Gathers to Worship God Welcome and Announcements Prelude (Silent preparation for worship begins with the appreciation of this music offering)

Call to Worship (responsive) Leader: Choose this day whom You will serve. All: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. Leader: Cry aloud, and call upon God's name. All: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. Leader: Declare God's glory among the nations. All: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. Leader: Sing to the Lord, and bless God's name. All: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. Opening Prayer *Opening Hymn Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling NCH 59 A Story for All Ages Open Hearts * the children arrive to the Chancel to the “traveling music” of Jesus Loves Me, NCH #327, v.1 * the children depart to their classrooms to “traveling music” of O God, Who Teaches Us to Live, NCH #359, v.1 Prayer of Confession (unison) O Lord our God, we confess to You our unfaithfulness, our divided loyalties, our dancing around the truth. We look for human approval instead of seeking to serve You. We answer to human authority instead of listening for Your Word. Turn our hearts back to You. Consume our sin with holy fire and set us free to sing Your praise. Amen.

The Service of Remembrance Litany of Remembrance In the rising of the sun and in its going down, We remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter, We remember them. In the opening of buds and rebirth of spring, We remember them. In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We remember them. In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, We remember them. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, We remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are part of us, As we remember them. Reading of the Names see insert Psalm 23 (Unison) p. 501 *Closing Hymn Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You NCH 4 *Benediction Postlude
