CALL TO WORSHIP

Come to Christ, that living stone, rejected by the world, but in God’s sight chosen and precious.


We have responded to Christ’s call, and seek to be built into a spiritual house, a living reminder of God’s presence on earth.


Once we were no people, but now we are God’s people, called out of the darkness into God’s marvelous light.

Therefore we sing with the Church in all ages:

Blessed be your name, O God, our Redeemer.

By your mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.


OPENING MUSIC: ”In Christ Alone” #3105 Worship & Song


OPENING PRAYER:

Creator God, how lovely is the dwelling you have made for us!  

You who create all things, we gladly awaken in your presence.

You are our maker, our host, and our home.

Risen Christ, how lovely is your dwelling with us!

You invite us to feast at your table:

to be nourished by your teaching,

to be healed by your grace,

and to share in this banquet of life 

with all the other poor sinners of this world.

You who taught and healed, you who died and were raised,

you who are the Bread of Life, feed us with your presence,

fill us with your spirit, and head us by your word.We desire with all our heart and mind and strength 

to die and live with you in the mystery of eternal life.

Holy Spirit, love of God, how lovely is your dwelling with us!

Wisdom of God, how gracious is your invitation to feast at your table.

You make of us on body, the Body of Christ.

 God, we give our hearts to you, 

that by your grace, we may devote ourselves to lives of compassion, justice and joy, for the sake of the transformation of the world, 

in the name of Christ. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP

The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,

the world and those who dwell therein;

for God has founded it upon the seas,

and established it upon the rivers.

Lift up your heads, O gates! and be liften up, O ancient doors!

that the Ruler of Glory may come in.

Who is the Ruler of Glory?

The lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, Mighty in battle!

Lift up your heads, O gates!

and be liften up O ancient doors!

that the Ruler of Glory may come in.

Who is this Ruler of Glory?

The Lord of hosts,

the Lord is the Ruler of Glory!


OPENING MUSIC:”Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” #139 UMH


OPENING PRAYER:

Creator God, Breathing your own life into our being,

you gave us the gift of life. 

You placed us on this earth with its minerals and waters,

flowers and fruits, living creatures of grace and beauty.

You gave us the care of the earth.

Today you call us : “where are you; what have you done?”


[Silent prayer for creation]


We hide in utter shame, for we are naked.

We violate the earth and plunder it.We refuse to share the earth’s resources.

We seek to own what is not ours, but yours.

Forgive us, Creator God,  and reconcile us to your creation.

 

O God of love, you gave us the gift of peoples-

of cultures, races and colors-

to love, to care for, to share our lives with.

Today you ask us: “Where is your brothers, your sister?”


[Silent Prayer for others.]


We hide ourselves in shame and fear.

Poverty, hunger, hatred, and war rule the eath.

The refugeess, the oppressed, and the voiceless cry out to you.

Forgive us, O God of Love,

and reconcile us to yourself and to one another.

Teach us, O Creator God of Love, that the earth and all its fullness if yours,

that the world and those who dwell in it.

Call us yet again to safeguard the gift of life. Amen.

PRESENTATION OF JULIA PLATT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS

CALL TO WORSHIP



Here in this sanctuary,

we remember, o God, your gift of life to each of us;

and we seek to carry it to the streets-

wherever there is death and violence

wherever there is grief and loss.


Here in this sanctuary,

 we remember, O God, your invitation to belong and find shelter;

and seek to carry it to the streets-

wherever there is loneliness and rejection

wherever there is homelessness and people are displaced.


Here in this sanctuary

we remember, o God, your reign of justice and righteousness;

and we seek to carry it to the streets-

wherever there is lawlessness or tyranny

wherever there is corruption and oppression.


Here in this sanctuary

 we remember, O God, your sacrifice of love and mercy;

and we seek to carry it to the streets-

wherever there is hatred and evil

wherever there is homelessness, regret, and guilt.


Here in this sanctuary, we remember all that you have done for us, O God,

we remember also your call to live what we sing and pray.

And so we commit ourselves again

to carry our worship from the sanctuary to the streets.

In Jesus’ name.

Amen.


OPENING MUSIC: “Lift Every Voice and Sing” #519 UMH


OPENING PRAYER:

O God, keep our whole country under your protection. 

Wipe out sin from this land;

lift it up from the depth of sorrow, O Lord, our shining light.

Save us from deep grief and misfortune, Lord of all nations.

Bless us with your wisdom,

 so that the poor may not be oppressed 

and the rich may not be oppressors.

Make this a nation having no ruler except God, 

a nation having no authority but that of love. Amen
