Welcome & Announcements
Moment for Justice
Prelude “O Magnify the Lord” arr. D. Tunney
Call to Worship:
God, whose imagination saw all that is good, beautiful, and loving,
continues to see us as beloved children in the divine family.
The Word which called forth the stars in every universe,
speaks to us of giving ourselves through the baptismal life.
The Spirit, which moved over creation, breathing life into all things,
fills us with peace and patience, with hope and healing to share.
**Hymn #17 "Sing Praise to God, You Heavens!" (Psalm 148)
**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.

Message
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 "Creator, We Thank You for All You Have Made" C.W. Gillette
**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.
