God of the Sparrow (VU 229) God of the sparrow God of the whale God of the swirling stars How does the creature say Awe How does the creature say Praise God of the earthquake God of the storm God of the trumpet blast How does the creature cry Woe How does the creature cry Save? ...

God of the rainbow God of the cross God of the empty grave How does the creature say Grace How does the creature say Thanks.

Invite the Light	Let this candle dance with the presence of Spirit, reminding us of the warmth of the community in which God calls us to gather and the light that shines with wisdom, insight, and clarity for us in our time of worship. Amen (Words from Peter Chynoweth, Yellowknife, N.W.T.)
Call to Worship (From UCC Aboriginal Day Celebration) We gather to share in God's dream of abundant life for all. We gather to give and receive gifts of deep emotion, deep wisdom, and deep love.	With gratitude, we gather as a community to praise God, to seek transformation, and to celebrate the power of the Spirit who is always moving.

We Are One (VU 402) We are one as we come, As we come, joyful to be here, In the praise on our lips There's a sense that God is near. We are one as we sing, As we seek, we are found; And we come needful of God's grace As we meet, together in this place.	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.

Prayer for Grace & Transformation (From a UCC's Song of Faith) God forgives and calls us to confess your fears and failings with honesty and humility. God reconciles and calls us to repent the part we have played in damaging our world, ourselves, and each other. God transforms and calls us to protect the vulnerable, to pray for deliverance from evil, to work with God for the healing of the world, that all might have abundant life. We sing of grace. Words of Assurance

Come Touch Our Hearts (MV 12, verses 1,4,5) Come touch our hearts That we may know compassion, From failing embers build a blazing fire; Love strong enough to overturn injustice, To seek a world more gracious, Come touch and bless our hearts.

Come touch our minds And teach us how to reason, Set free our thoughts To wonder and to dream; Help us to open Doors of understanding, To welcome truth and wisdom, Come touch and bless our minds.

Come touch us now, This people who are gathered, To break the bread And share the cup of peace; That we may love you With our heart, our soul, Our mind, our strength, Our all, Come touch us with your grace.

Come To The Feast

Come to the feast, Child of mine. Come to the feast, Leave your burdens behind. Come to the feast, Child of mine. You are the branch, I am the vine. Come, feed your soul, Break the bread, Drind the wine....

** Communion was the served but not recorded by me. See Youtube.**

Called by Earth and Sky (MV 135) Refrain: 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.

Precious these waters, endless seas, Deep ocean's dream, Waters of healing, rivers of rain, The wash of love again. R. Precious this gift, The air we breathe; Wind born and free Breath of the Spirit, Blow through this place, Our gathering and our grace. R.

Precious these mountains, ancient sands; Vast fragile land. Seeds of our wakening, Rooted and strong, Creation's faithful song. R. Precious the fire That lights our way, Bright dawning day. Fire of passion, sorrows undone, Our faith and justice one. R.

Commissioning & Benediction Amen
