Welcome & Announcements
Prelude "He Hideth My Soul" arr. M. B. Talley
Call to Worship:
On this day of worship, we call on God's name,
and hear our own invitation to work for the good of all.
Gathered with neighbors and strangers, we call on God's hope,
and discover that a lifetime of service seems but a few days.
In this place of praise and prayer, we call on God's love,
and receive that grace which is as old as creation, yet as fresh as each morning.
**Hymn #5 “God the Sculptor of the Mountains"
**Affirmation of Faith
In life and death we belong to God. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image, of every race and people, to live in one community. We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prayers of the People with the Lord’s Prayer
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us, not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
**Hymn “O God of Truth and Glory” C.W. Gillette TUNE: AURELIA
**Benediction
**Choral Blessing (face center aisle to bless one another)
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind blow at your back,
may the sun shine warmly on your face, may the rain fall softly on your field,
and, until we meet again, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of God’s hand.
