1 WORSHlP Where + is indicated, standing or sitting, we praise God. You are invited to read aloud the bold text. Last Sunday of Pentecost August 26, :00 AM SANCTUARY We Gather to Worship God Prelude Prière à Notre Dame Centering The Art of Neighboring Leon Boëllmann Andrew Hackett, organist At the sound of the singing bowl, we are invited to quiet our minds and hearts, focusing on God s presence with anticipation. Choral Introit Draw Near Stanley McDaniel Sanctuary Summer Choir Mark Squire, Director of Music Fine Arts Draw near to God and God will draw near to you. (James 4:8) + Call to Worship Greg Jurek Seek the Kingdom of God in your very own neighborhood. There you will find the righteousness of God. Ask your neighbor s name, and it will be given to you. Search for your neighbor, and you will find them. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. Let us open the door to the Spirit in our midst. + Hymn No. 185 When Morning Gilds the Skies Welcome Prayer of Confession Laudes Domni Rev. Nate Melcher Holy God, you have gathered us close, close enough to feel you. And you have scattered us afar, to be a patchwork quilt of humanity. Your Spirit dwells in the hearts of every person, ready to radiate love and to be loved. We don t always see that in the people around us. We confess we prefer our own definition of neighbor to yours because ours is easier. Help us know you through the neighbors you put before us. We are in need of your interrupting grace to tug at us, compel us to hear you through their voices and see you through their presence. Hear our silent confession in the quiet center of this space...
