Welcome, Parish Notes and Clip Board Ministry
*Call to Celebration One:..........From a cloud, and in a crowd, God speaks to us. All:..........Calling us to be lovers of justice, to share hope with the broken. One:..........On mountaintops, and in neighborhoods, Christ calls to us. All:..........With a word and with wonder, molding us into who we are. One:..........On the playground, and at the workstation, the Spirit whispers in our hearts; All:..........gathering up our fears, as well as our dreams, and
offering them to God. “We Have Come at Christ’s Own Bidding”
*Sharing the Peace and Love of Christ

Prayer Anthem....................Bell Choir “You Are My All in All” Arr. Douglas Wagner
Unison Prayer You are the pre-dawn glow that promises yet another new beginning; You are the still dusk that brings rest to a weary world; You are the prophecy of God’s life-giving Word inscribed on our hearts; You are the law that finds its fulfilment in love; You are the mountain where the presence of God blazes and burns; You are the valley where the face of God peeks out from suffering eyes; You are the glory that we long for, the whispered rumor of a different order, the Shining One who transfigures all things. You are the One we worship. Amen.
