- Introit -
Called by Earth and Sky
(MV 135, verse 1)

Precious these waters,
Endless seas,
Deep ocean's dream,
Waters of healing, rivers of rain,
the wash of love again.

R: Called by earth and sky,
Promise of hope held high.
This is our sacred living trust,
Treasure of life sanctified,
Called by earth and sky.






Call to Worship

Come all of you and be welcomed to this sacred hour of prayer!
We come, as we are, happy to take time to worship and praise God.
And you are so loved and so welcome. God's love for us is limitless.
We gather, we come to listen and pray, hope and thank.
And this pleases God! God is in love with all the
living creatures of the earth!
Be happy. Enjoy life. You are important and loved.




Maker, in Whom We Live
(VU 321)

Maker, in whom we live, in whom we are and move,
The glory, power, and praise receive for your creating love.
Let all the angel throng give thanks to God on high,
While earth repeats the joyful song and echoes to the sky.

Incarnate Deity, let all the ransomed race
Render in thanks their lives to you for your redeeming grace.
The grace to sinners shown, you heavenly choirs proclaim,
And cry, "Salvation to our God, salvation to the Lamb!"



Spirit of Holiness, let all your saints adore
Your sacred energy, and bless your heart renewing power.
No angel tongues can tell your love's ecstatic height,
The glorious joy unspeakable, the beatific sight.

Eternal, Triune God, let all the hosts above,
Let all on earth below record and dwell upon your love.
When heaven and earth have fled before your glorious face,
May all the saints your love has made sing everlasting praise.





For the Fruit of All Creation
(VU 227)

For the fruit of all creation,
Thanks be to God;
For the gifts of every nation,
Thanks be to God.
For the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
Silent growth while we are sleeping,
Future needs in earth's safe-keeping,
Thanks be to God.



In the just reward of labour,
God's will is done;
In the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
For the harvests of the Spirit,
Thanks be to God;
For the good we all inherit,
Thanks be to God;
For the wonders that astound us,
For the truths that still confound us,
Most of all that love has found us,
Thanks be to God.

Prayer Over the Offering

Bless this offering Heavenly God
and share it among all.
Open eyes, open hearts,
open hands, and open minds
That all may live decently, eat and have shelter.
This we ask through Jesus,
who taught us to pray saying...



- Communion -


Lord Be With You

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift us you hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give God thanks and praise.





Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God Almighty
(VU 315, verse 1)

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful, and mighty,
God in three persons,
Blessed Trinity!







We Proclaim

Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.







A New Creed
(VU 918)

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 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.


Commissioning

We are blessed to be able to
spend time together with God.
This hour is holy and God journeys with us.
We are never left to ourselves,
every minute and every hour God is with us.
Praise be to God.



* Common Blessing *

May God's Sheltering Wings
(MV 214)

May God's Sheltering Wings,
Her gathering wings protect you.
May God's nurturing arms,
Her cradling arms sustain you,
And hold you in her love,
And hold you in her love.






Postlude
(Lennon/McCartney)
