2nd Sunday after Pentecost June 14, 2020 | 9:30 am

Welcome + Announcements Prelude | Come, Let Us Worship setting by Christine Anderson & Douglas Wagner

Call to Worship Jesus Christ summons us to answer God’s call of mercy. Christ gathers us and gives us power to be healed and to heal, to be forgiven and to forgive, to be freed from sin and to set others free, to tell one another and the world: God’s presence is at hand. Let us worship God.

Gathering Hymn | Lord, Whose Love Through Humble Service page 6 of this bulletin Call to Confession

The mystery of God brings the promise of life, but we doubt the Spirit’s power to overcome death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son, reveals that nothing is impossible with God. Let us confess our sin and receive new life. Silence for personal confession

Prayer of Confession Triune God, Holy Three, Holy One, we confess that we do not know how to look for you. We do not sense your nearness, and if there are angels among us, we are unaware. We do not show the hospitality to strangers that Abraham showed to you. We do not trust that our hardships can be transformed by your Spirit. O Covenant-keeper, forgive us. Let us laugh with joy because your grace has made peace among us. Send us out with this good news so that others will also receive your blessing; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Declaration of Forgiveness Christ gave his life to save us from the wrath of God. Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Trust the good news of the gospel: in Jesus Christ our sins are forgiven.

Sharing of the Peace The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you.

Prayer of Illumination God of wonder, you appeared to Abraham; you reveal your fullness in your Son Jesus Christ. Your Spirit witness to us through your Word, and fills your people with hope through the peacemaking cross of Jesus. Gather us as Christ’s faithful disciples and empower us with his good news, in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Worship in Tithes and Offerings Offertory | Manhā (Morning) by Joāo Alexandre sung in Portuguese translation:

For knowing who you are, your power, your glory, I bow at your feet, Lord. For knowing who I am, my suffering, my history, Try my heart, Lord. It's not even morning; Here I am looking for you. Without you life is vain, Without reason, it will pass. Dawn escapes sleep And it's so good to know that you're here, Lord. Sweet mystery, your love for me. The sun rises, the light rises, it rises in me.
