4 Call to Worship Leader: God of the past who whispered in the prophets' ears; who rescued us from sin's slavery: People: we are here to thank you. Leader: God of the future, who is tearing down the old world, and building your kingdom in our midst: People: we are here because we trust you. Leader: God of the present who, in the giftedness of our diversity, creates us to be one people: People: we are here to praise you. Leader: God of life that surprises us when we find it within us: People: we celebrate your grace. *Hymn - Let Us Build a House (All Are Welcome) GTG #301 (verses 1, 3, 5) tune - two oaks *Prayer of Confession (unison) Leader: When we could be revived by God's grace, we find ourselves fearing God's judgment, doubting God's joy in us, fearing God has turned away from us. Let us come to the One who heals us and calls each of us by name. Please join me as we pray, All: You hold nothing back from us, Amazing God, yet we are determined to cling to what we have accumulated. We spend so much time dining out, we cannot feel the deep ache our hunger for you causes. You invite us to set aside our old ways, and walk with you, but unknown paths fill us with fear. Have mercy on us, Bread of Heaven. We come to the Table of grace and hope, not for our personal satisfaction, but for the joy of recognizing the One who calls us to new life, and for the grace to share this joy with everyone we meet. This we pray in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

5 *Words of Pardon Leader: Do not be afraid. More than anything else, God would rather turn fetid swamps into pools of crystal clear water; bonds of sin into cords of compassion; sinners into servants. People: God loves us. God forgives us. God lifts us to new life. Thanks be to God. Amen. *Musical response - Lamb of God GTG #555 (sing twice) O Lamb of God- you take away- The sins of the world Have mercy on us-lamb God and grant us your peace *Sharing of the Peace Leader: The peace of Christ be with you. People: And also with you.

6 Offering Our inheritance in Christ Jesus is guaranteed. What more do we need? We who are rich, whose hunger is met with good food, whose thirst is quenched with purified water, who enjoy many resources that entertain us and make life easier, need one thing more - to share generously from our abundance that we, and others, might truly live. Our gifts are meant to share Christ with the whole human family.

Leader: It is truly right and our greatest joy... And join their unending hymn singing, (Hymn GTG #552) People: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might. Heaven and Earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna in the highest! Leader: Blessed are you, O Lord Most high (Prayers of intercession, petition)
