Welcome & Announcements
Minute for Mission
Prelude "We Are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder" arr. C. Berry
Call to Worship:
Early in the morning, we gather at the edge of heaven,
finding the gates flung wide open by the One who welcomes all.
Early in the morning, we come to this holy place of worship,
to be touched by the One who offers us grace and love.
Early in the morning, we worship God, who adopts us into the family,
to be filled by the One who would pour us out in service to the world.
**Hymn “Shout to the Lord"
**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 #403 “Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty"
**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.
