Gathering Chime Prelude Andante Couperin

Welcome and Announcements Introit Come, Thou Almighty King (v. 4) No. 2

To thee, great One in Three, eternal praises be, hence evermore! Thy sovereign majesty may we in glory see, and to eternity love and adore.

Call to Worship One: Mighty Wind, who danced over the deep and surveyed the shapeless void, All: dance over us now and ready us for your creative purpose. One: Divine Word, who commanded unruly chaos and called forth light and life, All: call to us now and open us to new expressions of grace. One: Eternal Artist, who formed us in your likeness and claimed us as kin, All: reform and refine us to be bearers of your blessing. One: Holy Trinity – Creator, Christ, Spirit – who gathered the primeval waters, All: gather us in, then send us out, our voices echoing creation’s song: How majestic is your name in all the earth!

Genesis: And God Said, “Let There Be Light” by Alan Stecker

Call to Confession Prayer of Confession

Lord Jesus, you send us to make disciples of all nations, but we focus our energies inward and shy away from sharing the good news in word and deed. You charge us to teach your commandments, but we struggle to obey them and neglect to model them for others. You assure us of your abiding presence, but we doubt this promise and disregard your Spirit, denying the power you give us to do your work. Forgive us, Lord, and renew us to be the church you created us to be. Wash us with your grace and commission us for service in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Great Prayer of Thanksgiving and the Lord’s Prayer

Wild Goose Resource Group The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our god. It is right to give God thanks and praise. It is right to give you thanks and praise for never compromising the truth by which you lived, for refusing to be swayed by popular opinion, for identifying the seductions of power, for confronting institutionalized prejudice and never selling your soul. It is right to give you thanks and praise for loving the unlovable, touching the untouchable, forgiving the unforgivable, recognizing the gold beneath the dross, the potential beneath the pain, and never taking an easier path. It is right to give you thanks and praise for, in the face of our small-mindedness, you, Jesus, have shown us God and God’s kingdom in fascinating beauty and converting power.

10

So we gladly celebrate your life as we join with the church in heaven and earth in words of unending praise. Holy, holy, holy Lord God of power and might; heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Oh, Holy Jesus, it is not by virtue that we are here, but by your gracious invitation. It is not to continue an ancient tradition but to be nourished by our living Lord. It is not only to celebrate your presence among us but to catch a glimpse of heaven, because, in this sacrament, you give us a foretaste of that heavenly banquet where we shall see you face to face and enjoy the freedom of eternity when the limitations of earth are no more. God our Maker, as you gave your people water from a rock in the desert and fed them with bread in the wilderness, let you Holy Spirit fill this bread and this wine with the fullness of Jesus so that we, in stretching out our hands, receive, through faith, food for our souls. In the intimacy of this sacrament, as heaven and earth become one, enable us to know you more deeply

11

and resolve to love, honor and serve you more faithfully in this world beginning even now as we join our voices praying…

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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Communion of the People

At this time, we invite you to take the bread you have chosen and commune with one another, saying: This is Christ’s body, broken for us. Then take the drink you have set aside, and say: This is the cup of the new covenant.
