Worship Service October 5 World Communion

Saturday Night Sharing Communion with New Zealand

PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP:  You formed the universe in your wisdom, and created all things by your power.  You set us in families on the earth to live with you in faith.  We praise you for good gifts of bread and cup, and for the table you spread in the world as a sign of your love for all people in Christ.  Amen

                                                                

CALL TO WORSHIP

Here in this place, God offers us food,

        so we take and eat.

Here in this place, our neighbors are hungry,

        so we share the bread and the cup.

Here in this place, the table extends

        beyond our friends

beyond those who agree with us

        beyond these walls

beyond the borders

        around the world.

Let us taste and see that our God is good.

        Let us worship God with joy!

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of deep, abounding, astounding, boundary-breaking love,

        Forgive our closed doors; forgive our closed eyes and ears; forgive our insulated living,   forgive our safe and comfortable tables.  We pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen
