2 Church Covenant We strive to be a joyful, welcoming Christian Community. We seek to be faithful in a world torn by suffering, injustice, oppression, and war. We are inspired by God, Christ s Ministry, and the examples of other faithful people. We join together in worship and song, fellowship, study, and mission to embrace the risks and challenges of continuing Christ s ministry. We struggle to live out our faith in the world by furthering justice and peace, witnessing to the truth, and proclaiming God s love and mercy for all people. Open and Affirming Statement As a covenant community we are committed to the belief that all people are created equal before God. In affirmation of the inclusive love of Christ Jesus, we welcome persons of any race, gender, age, sexual orientation, ability and economic circumstance to full participation in our community life and ministry. We strive to reflect these beliefs in the language and content of our worship and in our lives together. (This statement adopted in 2000, reflects the welcome of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people and their friends and families.) 2
3 Epiphany Sunday January 6, :00 am PRELUDE WE GATHER IN FAITH The Garden of Prayer Edward Broughton ( ) WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS CONGREGATIONAL GREETING GATHERING SONG Arise! Shine! CALL TO WORSHIP One: Many: One: Many: One: Many: One: All: As foreigners, pilgrims, wanderers, we come to the crossroads searching for meaning. Which way should we turn? We have a star and a story to light the road ahead. But stars rise and fall, and stories twist and turn. Who will go with us? We are called into community, companions on the journey. And how will we know the way? The way, the truth, and the life of Christ are marked with justice, peace, and compassion. The Spirit sings to us still in this star, this story, these companions, and this life that really is life, deep and meaningful, growing and good for all God s children. Let us worship God together. *HYMN (Black, New Century) #156 Brightest and Best 3

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 and ever. Amen. 4
