- Introit -
Just as I Am
(VU 508, verses 3 & 4)

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.











Call to Worship

Come, O Holy Spirit:
come as Holy Fire and burn in us,
come as Holy Wind and cleanse us within,
come as Holy Truth and dispel our ignorance,
come as Holy Power and enable our weakness,
come as Holy Life and dwell in us.
Convict us, convert us, consecrate us,
until we are set free from the service of ourselves,
to be your servants to the world.
Let us worship together in this brave space.

Opening Prayer






Every Day is a Day of Thanksgiving
(MV 185)

Ev'ry day is a day of thanksgiving.
God you've been so good to me,
Everyday you're blessing me.
Everyday is a day of thanksgiving;
Take the time to glorify the Lord today.
Ev'ry day is a day is a day of thanksgiving.



You keep blessing me,
Blessing me, blessing me.
You opened the door that I might see,
You're blessing me.
And you keep blessing me,
Blessing me, blessing me.
I will glorify you, O my Lord, today!

Prayer of Confession

Father God, your truth is eternal.
Through children's stories
we understand that we are the ones
who put out the light you deposit in our soul.
That without knowing it,
We sometimes become shadowed
by the thing we have done,
or things we have not done.
We regret these sad circumstances
And pray that you will forgive us
And keep us instrumental
In the building of your kingdom.
Through Christ we pray. Amen.

Words of Assurance


O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
(VU 560)

O Master, let me walk with thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Teach me thy secret, help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.





Teach me thy patience; still with thee,
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sure and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broad'ning way,
In peace that only thou canst give,
With thee, O Master, let me live.

- Anthem -
Lord, Prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy; tried and true,
With thanksgiving I'll be a
Living sanctuary for You.

Thompson/Scruggs
arr. Lloyd Larson









In the name and in the spirit of Jesus,
We bring our gifts to you, O God.
Help us to give with them
A ready mind,
A willing spirit,
And a joyful heart. Amen.




- Offertory Hymn -

For All Your Goodness, God
(VU 549)

For all your goodness, God,
we give you thanks.

Thanks for the food we eat,
and for the friends we meet;
for each new day we greet,
we give you thanks.









Take Time to Be Holy
(VU 672)

Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with your Lord;
Abide in him always,
And feed on his word.
Make friends of God's children,
Help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing
His blessing to seek.
Take time to be holy,
Let him be your guide;
And run not before him,
Whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
Still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in his word.
Take time to be holy,
Be calm in your soul,
Each thought and each motive
Beneath his control.
Thus led by his spirit
To fountains of love,
You soon shalt be fitted
For service above.


Commission

We are sent out vigorously by a God
walking, running even, before us!
We journey together, walk with God
and act with Jesus.
As we now go out into this world, we remember
that we are not of this world.
We belong to God, Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Then Go! The world cannot wait. You are
needed, important and loved!
