Following Jesus, we love, welcome, and serve.
Prelude
Welcome and Announcements
Minute for Mission Room In the Inn
Threshold Moment Procession of the Christ Candle - Show Us How to Love
**Hymn #610 O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
**Confession and Assurance:
…believing that if we just hold things very tightly, we will survive.
We yearn for lives that matter, we desire relationships that thrive, we want less regret.
…Let us respond together:
We open our hearts, our minds, our souls, our vision to the ways
of love created by God, embodied in Jesus, and already moving in
us by the Spirit. We are forgiven, loved, and freed! Amen!

Message
The Word in Music (10:15 only) Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy Grace Notes Choir and Grace Ringers
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.

**Benediction
Go forth into the world, looking for love in all the right places!
We will look for signs of The Liberator, shedding the shrouds of death to live and love freely!
**Choral Response
Hearts open, minds awake,
change us now for heaven’s sake.
Leave us not alone in hatred’s wake.
Show us how to love.
Show us how to love.
Show us how, show us how to love.
