We Gather In Praise
Prelude
Welcome
Gospel Jam: Amen | VU #365 Jesus Loves Me | VU 561 Take Up Your Cross
In the name of the Creator, who loves us, we open our hearts. In the name of Jesus Christ, who gathers us, we open our minds. In the name of the Holy Spirit, who stirs our imaginations, we open our doors to the God
who dwells among us.
Let us confess our shortcomings, recalling the words of Christ: Jesus said: “peace be with you”
ALL: Yet sometimes we sow discord, neglecting to make peace with our sisters and brothers
Jesus said, “As God has sent me, so I send you.”
ALL: Yet sometimes we refuse to go, fearing to follow unknown paths of faith.
Jesus said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
ALL: But we turn away, rejecting the gifts of the Spirit.
(Take a moment in silence to reflect)
ALL: Forgive us, blessed God in the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
Jesus did not just die for the beautiful dressed people that sit in church every Sunday and read their bibles every day. He died for you who cries at night and wakes up too late for church and makes unforgivable mistakes and goes weeks without thanking him. Don’t forget that. Jesus loves all…..
1 Samuel 17: 32–49 (MSG)
Psalm 9: 9–20

Hymn: VU #508 Just As I Am
Thank you God for providing us with this place of belonging. In response we bring our own gifts to use in your Church, and as we do, we want to say how grateful we are to you that you have given us such friends. Out of gratitude we give, for you have given us so much.
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 trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Closing Hymn: VU #541 Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow
Go now in peace. Never be afraid.
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know He will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith, and in love.

We Gather In Praise
Prelude
Living God, from you comes vitality, love and joy. Your peace is our companion, your love is our strength, your Son is our hope. In even our darkest moments, your presence brings comfort. Hidden deep in the soil of life, your Spirit nurtures tiny seeds of purpose and potential to surprise us with new life. Like the earth beginning to bloom around us, so your kingdom unfolds to surprise us with new possibilities. We bring you our prayers and praise this day, trusting that your Spirit will bring us the gifts we need to serve you in faithfulness, renewed by your love, through Christ our Lord. AMEN
Welcome
Gospel Jam: Amen | VU #675 We Have An Anchor
| VU #343 I Love To Tell The Story
One: It is good to give God thanks, to sing praises to the Most High!
All: We will sing for joy to God who has made us glad.
One: Let us declare God’s steadfast love in the morning,
All: and God’s faithfulness by night.
One: So come to worship God with thankful, joyful hearts!
All: Let us praise God’s holy name together. AMEN
Living, loving God, as we watch growth in our gardens and in the children around us, we confess we often resist growth and change as we grow older. We form ideas and opinions about many things—and cling to them. We think we already know what you desire from us and fear new insights and new directions. Forgive us for thinking we already know it all. Forgive us for blocking out the concerns and commitments of those who differ with us. Open our eyes, our ears and our hearts to signs of new life. Grant us faith like the mustard seed, so small and insignificant on its own, yet able to grow with your blessing to become a mighty sign of your lively kingdom among us. Amen.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Closing Hymn: VU #405 New Every Morning Is The Love
Go now in peace. Never be afraid.
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know He will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith, and in love.

We Gather In Praise
Prelude
Welcome
Gospel Jam: Amen | VU #226 For the Beauty of the Earth | VU #624 Give Us To Laughter
In the majesty of the mountain and the thunder of a waterfall
we can see God’s glory
In the call of the loon and the reflection of trees in still waters
we can see God’s mercy
In the rush of the river and the soaring of the eagle
we can see the Spirit’s power
So we come to worship the One who has the power to grant us
mercy and forgiveness and lift us to heights of glory
We come to give God thanks and praise and to offer ourselves as God’s faithful servants.
God we are your people, yet, too often, we in the Christian faith have not witnessed to the grace you share with us. We have judged others in your name because we did not care for them. We found excuses to reject those who were not like us by declaring wrongly they were not like you. God, forgive us and open our hearts to your grace so we may love others as you love all of us. Amens
God says…I have called you by name; you are mine.
Even when we don’t claim God – God claims us.
We belong to God – and are loved into completeness.
Let us open our hearts to the love and grace of God.
1 Samuel 8: 4–11, 16–20
Psalm 138
Mark 3: 20–35 (MSG)

Hymn: VU #334 All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name
We give thee but thine own what ere the gift may be for all we have is thine alone a trust, O Lord, from thee.
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 trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

We Gather In Praise
Prelude
God of Mystery and Mercy, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we meet you in wonder as the Blessed Trinity. You are the Ancient of Days, eternal and unchanging; yet you are the Source of each new day, renewing all things. In Christ, you encounter us in whatever each day brings with a heart that beats in love for us. Through the Spirit, you breathe life into what is growing older, energizing us to serve you in good times and hard times. In the mystery of the Trinity, you are always with us and so we bring you our worship and praise to join in your dance of life and love, Holy One and Holy Three, now and ever more. AMEN.
Welcome
Gospel Jam: Amen | VU #958 Halle, Halle, Hallelujah! |
VU #575 I’m Gonna LIve
One: Holy are you, Source and Creator of all things;
All: We bring you our praise for your gift of life.
One: Holy are you, Son and Redeemer of all things:
All: We bring you our thanks for your gift of new life.
One: Holy are you, Spirit and Sustainer of all things;
All: We come to bear witness to your truth and worship your holy name, Ever Three and Ever One.
Holy and Healing God, slow to anger and swift to forgive, you have shown us the depth of your love day by day, yet we are reluctant to love others even a little. You have shown us compassion and forgiveness, yet we turn away from one another for even small slights. We save our concern for those most like us. Forgive us. Create in us clean hearts and a desire to begin again with you and with one another. Give us the courage to forgive each other and know your healing grace. Amen.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

God will be there watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith, and in love.
