*Call to Worship
Leader: Children of God: welcome! Welcome to this place of love and grace, Welcome to this place of hope and perseverance.
All: God invites all of us to be a part of the beloved community, God invites all of us to share in the good news: Leader: We are welcome, just as we are. We are loved, just as we are.
ALL: In gratitude for all of this, let us worship God.
*HYMN #77 How Great Thou Art
*Unison Prayer
We gather in the presence of the One who breathes life into all of Creation. We gather as God’s beloved people, leaving no one outside. In Christ, there is neither insider nor outsider, invited nor shunned, accepted nor rejected. We are a gathering of nobodies, yet Jesus claims us as somebodies who all have a place. God invites all of us to be a part of his beloved community. In gratitude for all of this, let us worship God with our whole selves. Amen.
SCRIPTURE LESSONS:
Matthew 28:16-20 page 36 in NT of Pew Bible
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him, but they doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Psalm 8 page 478 in OT of Pew Bible
1 O Lord, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouths of babes and infants
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established;
4 what are humans that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?
5 Yet you have made them a little lower than God
and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under their feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
2 Corinthians 13:11-14 page 176 in NT of Pew Bible
Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Be restored; listen to my appeal; agree with one another; live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13All the saints greet you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
Leader: The word of God for the people of God.
People: Praise be to God.
