World Communion Sunday

October 6, 2019

ASSEMBLE IN GOD’S NAME

Welcome Brad Clayton

Prelude Adam Ravain

*Call to Worship (responsive) Les Lundberg

Today we gather around God's table from near and far. We are the people of God! Though we differ in language, custom, and tradition, We are brothers and sisters in Christ! For there is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. We are One in God's Spirit! Come, let us worship the God!

*Hymn No. 39 Great is Thy Faithfulness

Call to Confession Les Lundberg

Prayer of Confession

Almighty God, Mother of mercy, Father of grace: You have called us to one table, but we have pursued our own course. You have promised us the abundance of all creation, but in our greed, and in our envy, the world goes without. You have promised us the bread of life itself, but in our pride, and in our arrogance, the world goes hungry. You have promised us the waters of peace and justice, but in our violence, and in our discord, the world goes thirsty. And now we are famished, too. (Silent confession)

Lord, have mercy on us. Transform us, at this table, and for this table, and send us from this table as servants of Your righteousness, by the power of Your Son, our Lord. Amen.

Kyrie Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

Declaration of Forgiveness Les Lundberg

*Gloria Patri Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

*The Passing of the Peace

The peace of the Lord be with you always. And also with you.

(During the Passing of the Peace, children are invited to come forward for the time with our young disciples.)

Proclamation of the Word

Prayer With Our Young Disciples Mary Steen

(After the children’s time, children are invited to return to worship with their families. Parents are welcome to take 3-5 year olds to the playground for Children’s Enrichment.)

Sermon Faith-Full: Bounti-Full Brad Clayton

Response to the Word

*Hymn No. 770 I’m Gonna Eat at the Welcome Table

Offering I Dream a World Chancel Choir

by Andre Thomas

I dream a world where man no other man will scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn. I dream a world where all will know sweet freedom's way, where greed no longer saps the soul, nor avarice blights our day. A world I dream black or white, whatever race you be, will share the bounties of the earth and every man is free, where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind—Of such I dream, my world!

Holy Communion

Invitation to the Lord’s Table Brad Clayton

Prayer of Thanksgiving The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. . . . Therefore we join our voices with all Your people in every time, every place, and every language, singing praises to Your holy name:

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might! Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He who comes in the name, the name of the Lord. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest! . . . Great is the mystery of faith: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. . . .

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
