WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
CENTERING PRAYER
Holy One, earth and heaven reverberate with your glory, and humans and angels alike sing your praises. Open our minds to your breathtaking work in the world, even as you call us to spread the good news of Jesus Christ, our mentor and savior, in whose name we pray. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
We come from different backgrounds, but we gather together.
We are all here seeking an experience of the holy.
We travelled different paths to be here today.
We long to be united with God and one another.
Open your ears for the promise of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness.
We are listening for God’s call in our lives

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, though we walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve and deliver us. Though our lips are not clean and our hearts are not pure, you call us. Forgive us, we pray, when we wander away from you, lost and at risk. Forgive us when our lives do not reflect your glory and the purposes you intend. Help us to comprehend your ways in the world. We long to feel your grace and glory, for in you, Emmanuel, we can be healed and set free. (Silent Confession)

OFFERING A Miracle Man Raney
Chancel Choir & Drew Davis, drums
MUSIC NOTES A Miracle Man is a lively and fun summation of several of the miracles Jesus did in his early ministry. Enjoy the fun, but take time to ponder why Jesus did these things. Compassion, of course. But maybe it was to get the attention of distracted people (like us) to focus on his teachings. “Love God, love one another.” “Blessed are the poor in Spirit.” Would they (or we) have listened without first seeing the miracles?
