WELCOME​

(Leader/People)

Seekers and believers, people of faith,

and people of no faith at all,

You are welcome here.

 

OPENING PRAYER​

​

*CALL TO WORSHIP

​

ONE: Come as you are.

ALL: We come with faith and with questions.
We come with certainty and with doubt.
We come with joy and with weariness.

ONE: Come, carrying the stories of who you have been and who you are still becoming.
ALL: We come to be rooted in God’s love.
To be nourished on our spiritual journeys.
To grow together in hope and in love. 
ONE:  Our journeys have been varied.
ALL: But there is room for every story.

ONE: No matter who you are,

ALL: You are welcome here.

ONE: So let us open our hearts.

ALL: Let us worship the God

who welcomes us all.

*GATHERING HYMN

Be Now My Vision

NCH #451, vs. 1-3​

​

Be now my vision, O God of my heart;

nothing surpasses the love you impart.

You are my best thought, by day or by night,

waking or sleeping, your presence my light.

 

Be now my wisdom, and be my true word;

ever within me, my soul is assured;

Mother and Father, you are both to me,

now and forever your child I will be.

 

Riches I need not, nor life’s empty praise,

you, my inheritance, now and always;

You and you only are first in my heart,

great God, my treasure, may we never part.

CLOSING HYMN

Guide Me, O My Great Redeemer

NCH #18, vs. 1, 2

 

Guide me, O my great Redeemer, pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but you are mighty; hold me with your powerful hand.

Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,

feed me till I want no more, feed me till I want no more. 

 

Open now the crystal fountain, where the healing waters flow.

Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through.

Strong deliverer, strong deliverer,

ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield.
