I Have Called You by Your Name (MV 161) I have called you by your name, You are mine; I have gifted you And ask you now to shine. I will not abandon you; All my promises are true. You are gifted, called, and chosen; You are mine.

Lighting of the Christ Candle (Beth W Johnston, Collaborative Ministry, River Philip and Springhill, N.S.) The world cries war. The church's foundation whispers peace. The world speaks of scarcity. The church's foundation shows us abundance. The world warns us to keep for ourselves. The church's foundation calls us to share and open our hearts. The church's foundation shows us that the way of peace involves celebrating and sharing our abundance. Thanks be to God for this light of hope. Amen.

Call to Worship Let us give thanks for God's provision and commit ourselves to sharing His love and blessings with others. Let us worship together.

Opening Prayer Open our hearts, O God That we might recognize your presence in the voices of those around us. May the laughter of children Call us into your joy. May the stories of the elders Teach us your wisdom. May the cries of all who are impacted by violence and disaster and the despair of all who are hungry and impoverished Stir us to work for your justice. May the moans of all who are sick and suffering Move us to acts of your mercy. May our own suffering, fear, and distress Provoke us to recognize the needs of others as you do. Open our hearts, O God, to you. Amen.

We Are Pilgrims (VU 595) We are pilgrims on a journey, Fellow travellers on the road; We are here to help each other Walk the mile and bear the load. Sister, let me be your servant, Let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to Let you be my servant too.

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 you laugh I'll laugh with you; I will share your joy and sorrow, Till we've seen this journey through.

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, Let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to Let you be my servant too.

All the Way My Savior Leads Me (VU 635) All the way my Savior leads me, What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who through life has been my Guide? Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell! For I know, whate'er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me, Cheers each winding path I tread, Gives me grace for every trial, Feeds me with the living Bread. Though my weary steps may falter And my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me, Oh, the fullness of His love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father's house above. When my spirit, clothed immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way.
