*Call To Worship We have good news today! God knows where we are and calls to us, offering new life. Zacchaeus hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today! Jesus calls to us, wherever we are, no matter what we were doing. Matthew, leave your tax booth and follow me! Your past does not matter; God has a place for you and for me. We come to celebrate good news today! God, who knows who we are and where we are, offers us new life! *Hymn of Praise Life Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
UMH #213
Passing of the Peace Time of Prayer - 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
*Affirmation of Faith (United Church of Canada) We are not alone, we live in God’s world. We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit. We trust in God. We are called to be the church: to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God. Amen.
UMH #883
