Dear God, we are humbly in your presence. Please open our heart and our mind so that we may dwell in

your Spirit in the midst of your assembly as we gather together this morning to worship you in the com-

fort of our homes but connected to our brothers and sisters by the Holy Spirit. Com Holy Spirit and speak

to us. Come Holy spirit and renew our soul by your love, care and your holy presence, amen!

COMMUNITY PRAYER Joel Tomlinson

Father you are awesome God. We love you and as we gather together to worship you we bring our peti-

tions and we lift to you those who need a healing touch, strength, and courage for another day. Visit the

essential workers here in Marshfield and around the world. Comfort the families who cry alone the loss of

loved ones these days. Visit those in hospital who need the breath of life. We praise you for the thousands

who recovered Covid-19 and is back home with their loved ones. Thanks for the protection of us and our

loved ones. And keep watching over this world we need you because we are living in a tomb-time of dark-

ness, separation, and anxiety. For the moment, it feels that this may never pass, that we will never truly

see the light again. Dark clouds gather, the world as we have known it quakes and

trembles, and we admit a worry and fret – at times even a panic – because we simply can no longer see a

vision of the future. Help us to wait, O Lord. Help us to be patient. Help us to trust and grant us the faith

that will sustain us through the dark times until the day we emerge fully into your light. We ask this hum-

bly in the name of the crucified Savior, Jesus the Christ.

HOLY COMMUNION The Great Thanksgiving for Online Service We are experiencing Holy Communion in a new way today. Though physically separated from one another, we are still bound together as family through our baptism. As members of the household of God we now join together virtually, yet still present to one another as we gather from across the miles. This presence is marked by our shared praises and prayers, our shared hearing and affirming of God’s word, and now our shared eating. And now, as we share in the Great Thanksgiving, each time I say, “The family responds,” you will repeat back the response I have given to you. Pastor: The peace and presence of the Lord be with us. So we lift up our hearts. All: “We lift them up to God!” Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God, because it is the right thing to do, not only now, but always - day after day after day. All: “Day after day after day.” Pastor: We thank you, creator God, that you made us in your image, and breathed into us the breath of life. When we turned away, our love failing, and our bodies diseased, you reached out to us again and again, providing healing, wholeness, and new life. When the flood came, You provided an ark. When the plagues came You provided safety. When evening came, You provided a pillar of fire. When exile came, You provided a new song. Day after day after day, Your love remained steadfast. ALL: Day after day after day. Pastor: And so with your people on earth, and all the company of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn. All: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord! God of power and might! Heaven and Earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the Highest! Pastor: Blessed is the one who comes in the name of our God. Blessed is your Son who came to preach the good news to the poor, release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, Freed the oppressed, and announced that the time had come when you would save your people. He healed the sick. All: “He healed the sick. Pastor: He is healing the sick now. All: “He is healing the sick now.” Pastor: He will heal the sick, day after day after day. All: “day after day after day.”

(As I lift the Bread up, You too lift the bread up in your house. As I lift the Cup you lift the cup in your house too. When I bless the elements with hands palm down on the elements, you do the same.)

Pastor: On the night in which he gave himself up for us, he took bread, (lift it up) gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Pastor: When the supper was over, he took the cup, (lift it up) gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for

Pastor: When the supper was over, he took the cup, (lift it up) gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” Let us be a com-munity of healer and hope givers, as together we proclaim the mystery of faith: All: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again Pastor: Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered in Spirit and in our houses, (hands palm down as a sign of blessings on the elements) and consecrate with your blessings these gifts of bread and wine. Let them be for us the body and blood of Christ, so that we may be for the world the body of Christ, made whole by his witness, passion and life. In this season of social distancing, may you remind us that we are never spiritually distant from You. We belong to your body. “ All: We belong to your body. Pastor: May the Spirit use us to heal and reconcile in Jesus name, All: We will heal and reconcile in Jesus name. Pastor: And now Holy Spirit make us one in Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world. All: Amen! THE LORD’S PRAYER

All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who

trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

INVITATION I Invite you to prayerfully partake in the Holy Communion by whatever means you have EATING THE BRAED TOGETHER This bread reminds us that any life, no matter how broken, or sick, or distorted it may become, can be made whole again. Let us eat the bread together. DRINKING OF THE CUP The cup reminds us that any life, no matter how empty, or lonely, or isolated it may become, can be filled again. These are the gifts of God, for the family of God.” All: Thanks be to God. PRAYER AFTER RECEIVING Day after day after day you give yourself to us: in two or three gathered in your name, in connection across the miles, and in bread and wine. As we go from this gathering around your table, may we feel restored to your body, companioned by your people, and sustained by the power of your Spirit as we witness to your healing and reconciling work. Through Christ our Lord, Amen. (The remaining elements may be consumed or returned to the earth)

John 10:1-10 CEB

10 1 I assure you that whoever doesn’t enter into the sheep pen

through the gate but climbs over the wall is a thief and an outlaw.

2 The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 The guard at the gate opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to

his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 Whenever he has gathered all of his sheep, he goes before them and

they follow him, because they know his voice.

5 They won’t follow a stranger but will run away because they don’t

know the stranger’s voice.”

6 Those who heard Jesus use this analogy didn’t understand what he

was saying.

7 So Jesus spoke again, “I assure you that I am the gate of the sheep.

8 All who came before me were thieves and outlaws, but the sheep

didn’t listen to them.

9 I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved. They will

come in and go out and find pasture.

10 The thief enters only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came so that they

could have life—indeed, so that they could live life to the fullest.
