OPENING HYMN ALL ARE WELCOME

Let us build a house Where love can dwell And all can safely live, A place where Saints and children tell How hearts learn to forgive.

Built of hopes and dreams and visions, Rock of faith and vault of grace; Here the love of Christ shall end divisions;

Let us build a house where prophets speak, And words are strong and true, Where all God's children dare to seek To dream God's reign anew.

Here the cross shall stand as witness And a symbol of God's grace; Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:

Let us build a house where love is found In water, wine and wheat: A banquet hall on holy ground, Where peace and justice meet.

Here the love of God, through Jesus, Is revealed in time and space; As we share in Christ the feast that frees us:

All are welcome, all are welcome, All are welcome in this place.

OFFERTORY HYMN WE ARE MANY PARTS We are many parts We are all one body. And the gifts we have, We were given to share. May the spirit of love, make us one indeed; One, the Love that we share; One, our hope and despair; One, the cross that we bear. God of all, we look to you, We would be your servants true, Let us be your love for all the world We are many parts We are all one body. And the gifts we have, We were given to share. May the spirit of love, make us one indeed; One, the Love that we share; One, our hope and despair; One, the cross that we bear. So my pain is your pain too In your joy, is my joy too, All is brought together in the Lord. We are many parts We are all one body. And the gifts we have, We were given to share. May the spirit of love, make us one indeed; One, the Love that we share; One, our hope and despair; One, the cross that we bear. All you seekers great and small Seek the greatest gift of all, If you love, then you will know the Lord. We are many parts We are all one body. And the gifts we have, We were given to share. May the spirit of love, make us one indeed; One, the Love that we share; One, our hope and despair; One, the cross that we bear.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER MY JUSUS I BELIEVE THAT YOU PRESENT IN THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT I LOVE YOU ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND I DESIRE TO RECEIVE YOU INTO MY SOUL.

CLOSING HYMN LIFT HIGH THE CROSS (Refrain) Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name. 1. Come, Christians, follow where the Master trod, our King victorious, Christ the Son of God. 2. Led on their way by this triumphant sign, the hosts of God in conquering ranks combine. 3. Each newborn servant of the Crucified bears on the brow the seal of him who died. 4. O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, your death has brought us life eternally. 5. So shall our song of triumph ever be: praise to the Crucified for victory!
