Ave, verum corpus Natum de Maria Virgine, Vere passum immolatum In Cruce pro homine, Cujus latus perforatum Unda fluxit et sanguine, Esto nobis praegustatum In mortis examine. |
Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death. |

I am a child of God,

I am a cry for peace, I am commitment and dedication, I am a cry for peace, I am a cry for peace. |
Call to Worship
Come and pray our God, the God of love and power. |
We Are One (VU 402)
|
We are one as we share, As we share brokenness and fear, In the touch of a hand There's a sense that God is here. We are one as we care, As we heal, we are healed; And we share warmth in God's embrace As we pray together in this place. |
We are one as we feast, As we feast, peace becomes the sign; In the bread and the wine There's a sense of love divine. We are one as we come, As we feed, we are fed; And we feel God's refreshing grace As we meet at table in this place. |
We are one as we hear, As we hear, heart and hand unite; In the word we receive There's a sense that God is light. We are one as we leave, As we love, we are loved; And we seek justice in God's ways As we move together from this place. |
- Moments of Reflection -
Before we praise God and sing glory to God,
We ask for God's forgiveness and deeply pray |
I Have Called You by Your Name (MV 161)
I have given you a name, it is mine; |
I have given you a name, it is mine; I have given you my Spirit as a sign. With my wonder in your soul, Make my wounded children whole; Go and tell my precious people They are mine. |
I know you will need my touch as you go; Feel it pulsing in creation's ebb and flow. Like the woman reaching out, Choosing faith in spite of doubt, Hold the hem of Jesus' robe, Then let it go. |
I have given you a name, it is mine; I have given you my Spirit as a sign. With my wonder in your soul, Make my wounded children whole; Go and tell my precious people They are mine. |

Out of deep unordered water
There is water in the river
Water on the human forehead, |
A New Creed (VU 918)
We are not alone, |
We trust in God. We are called to be the Church: To celebrate God's presence, To live with respect in Creation, 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. |

We Are Pilgrims (VU 595)
We are pilgrims on a journey,
Sister, let me be your servant, |
I will hold the Christ-light for you In the night-time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, Speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping, |
When we sing to God in heaven, We shall find such harmony, Born of all we've known together Of Christ's love and agony.
Brother, let me be your servant, |
Commissioning
Go my friends. |
