A Time of Informal Hymn Singing
Bringing in the Light of Christ
Welcome, Parish Notes & September Clip Board Ministry
*Call to Worship One:..........God is unfolding a new moment, an hour of blessing, a time of healing, a day of beauty. It is the gift offered to you, filled with ordinary moments made holy by attention to the movements of Grace, the tremors of Love, the ripples of Hope, the whispers of Peace. This time is for you. Let us worship the Lord.
“Come, Christians, Join to Sing”
*Sharing the Love and Peace of Christ
If you have a prayer joy or concern to be shared during the Prayer of the People, please hand it to an usher during the Prayer Hymn.
Prayer Hymn....................#641 “Fill My Cup, Lord” Sing Twice
Unison Prayer of Confession God,
if we carry the name Christian, we are signs of Christ's presence
in the world. Yet we confess that we do not always live as joyous,
loving and hopeful people in our homes, our workplaces and our
communities. We get so caught up in the values of this world that
we do not seek to discern your will for our lives. By your grace
and forgiveness, renew us in mind, body and spirit, that we will
witness and work for Christ wherever you have placed us. In Jesus’
name we pray. Amen. When we humbly seek forgiveness, God responds with mercy and grace. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and loved. All:..........Glory be to God.
Scripture Reading....................OT pg. 614 Ecclesiastes 1:2,12-14; 2:18-23
Message....................Pastor Tom Ball “Where Satisfaction Can Be Found, When the Work of Our Minds and Hands Fails To Satisfy”
