GATHERING

CALL TO WORSHIP

Is someone here moving toward the twilight of life

and fearful of that which we call death?

Why be afraid? God is able.

Is someone here on the brink of despair because of the death of a loved one,

the breaking of a marriage, or the waywardness of a child?

Why Despair?

God is able to give us the power

to endure that which cannot be changed.

Is someone here anxious because of bad health?

Why be anxious? Come what may, God is able.

Surely God is able.

HYMN “Great is Thy Faithfulness” #140 UMH

OPENING PRAYER

I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me employed by thee or laid aside for thee,

Exalted for thee or brought low by thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things

To thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

Thou art mint, and I am thine. So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth,

Let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.

Almighty God, giver of every good and perfect gift,

Teach us to render to you all that we have and all that we are,

Into a living sacrifice to you;

Through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

GATHERING

CALL TO WORSHIP

Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

that God may teach us holy ways;

Come, let us go to the house of God,

so we may walk in paths with our God.

The LORD will judge between the nations,

war will cease, rifle barrels will become garden stakes,

tanks will become tractors, and missile silos upcycled to hold grain;

All people will experience the Peace of the LORD, no one shall make them afraid;

For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.

HYMN “Hail to the Lord’s Anointed” #203 UMH

OPENING PRAYER

With all our heart, we take refuge in God most high,

Who created all things,

The merciful Father, Source of all goodness.

With all our heart, we take refuge in Christ,

The Redeemer from sin,

Who restores our true nature,

The perfect and mysterious Word.

With all our heart, we take refuge in the One who embraces the universe,

Who at all times and in all places responds to our needs,

The pure and tranquil Holy Spirit.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

All things come from you, O God,

And with gratitude we return to you what is yours.

You created all that is, and with love formed us in your image.

When our loved failed, your love remained steadfast.

You gave your only Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior.

All that we are, and all that we have, is a trust from you.

And so, in gratitude for all your gifts,

We offer you ourselves, and all that we have,

In union with Christ’s offering for us.

By your Holy Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other,

And one in ministry to all the world;

Through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
