                                                   CALL TO WORSHIP (In Unison)                         

Let us celebrate the gifts that our Lord Jesus provides to us.  From Jesus comes all good things, from the food we eat, to the prayers He answers, to the wonder of the life here and the life to come.  We gather in joy and wonder and thanksgiving for all that He has provided.

Let us worship the Living God

 AMEN

Hymn Today: “Lord of the Dance”

I danced in the morning when the world was begun,

and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,

And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth;

At Bethlehem, I had my birth.

 

Dance, then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the Dance said he,

And I’ll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I’ll lead you all in the dance said he.

 

   CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Unison)

 Dear Father in heaven, as Jesus cured the sick, fed the hungry, and provided for all in need, we confess that we too are in need.  We need the grace of forgiveness promised in His resurrection of all that we have done and not done to sin against You, our neighbor, and Your creation.  May you create a clean heart in each of us and renew a right Spirit within me.   Amen.

 INVITATION

If you do not know Jesus as Your Lord and Savior, but You would like to come to Him, or come to Him again, You can do wo with this simple prayer:

“Dear Lord I need You, please come into my life today.  Amen”

SONG OF RESPONSE: “Lord of the Dance”

They cut Me down and I leap up high;

I am the life that will never never die;

I’ll live in you if you’ll live in Me;

I am the Lord of the Dance said He.

 

Dance, then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the Dance said he,

And I’ll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I’ll lead you all in the dance said he.

 THE LORD’S PRAYER (In Unison)

 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.  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

OUR BENEDICTION AND DEPARTURE (In Unison)

May the Lord bless us and keep us. May the Lord make His face to shine upon us and be gracious to us. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us and give us peace. Amen.
