Welcome & Announcements
Prelude “Amazing Grace” Grace Ringers
Call to Worship:
This day! This day we will give thanks to God, who cradles us in the waters of baptism.
This day! This day we will trust in the One who has saved us, who strengthens us.
This day! This day we dance to the fountain of life, drinking deeply of salvation's goodness.
This day! This day we praise our God for every blessing; telling everyone of God's amazing grace in our lives and in our world.
This day! This day we sing God's praises; testifying to all creation of our God.
This day! This day our songs are filled with joy, for God is with us, this day and in all the days to come!
**Hymn #367 “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come”
**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.
Anthem (10:15) "Come to the Water” Grace Notes Choir; Katie Stewart, solo
Time with Young Disciples (10:15)
Scripture Isaiah 65: 17-25
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 “This Is a Day of New Beginnings”
**Benediction
**Choral Blessing
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.
