2 WE CENTER OURSELVES ON GOD Welcome to a time of Sabbath, rest, and renewal \August 19, 2018 Glade Matters Shared moments of information and inspiration about our church family Prelude I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked Geoffrey O Hara (Bonnie Clowes & Tim Kueberth) *Call to Worship L: When we come to worship, we bring the fullness of ourselves to this time. From the past, we carry our worries and our joys. P: Staring into the future, we bring our hopes and our dreams. L: God desires our pasts, to bless and heal them. P: God gives us our present, to inspire and encourage us. L: God holds our futures, to give us purpose and hope. P: We bring the fullness of ourselves to this time. L: Seeking the Creator of that is, may we offer our thoughts and our dreams, our questions and our doubts, our hearts and our very selves as we worship God now! *Processional Hymn Be Now My Vision #451 *Prayer of Confession (Offered by All) Holy One, you delight in us and desire nothing more than we live at our best. You have dreams for your creation: that all may dwell in harmony, that peace would be the rule and order of things, that everyone may have all they need for abundant life. However we have our own dreams: to be the best, to be the richest, to be the healthiest, to have the most fame and success. Often our pursuit of these dreams comes at the expense of others, as we turn from you and listen to the myth of scarcity. We trust more in our abilities and talents than we do your dreams and power. When we chase after our selfish dreams rather than being open to the paths you intend for us, forgive us. In those seasons when our dreams interfere with the desires you have for us and for all creation, forgive us and open us to your wisdom. We seek your voice and your way. Amen. 2

3 Words of Assurance L: Beloved of God, the Holy One never gives up on us. In unfailing love, God seeks us out and forgives that which needs healing. God gives us new dreams for our flourishing and for the sake of the world. P: This is the good news that brings us life. Thanks be to God! Amen. Scripture Reading 1 Kings 3: 5-15 L: The Word of God for the people of God. P: Thanks be to God! Special Music Y ou Raise Me Up Graham/Lovland (Bonnie Clowes & Tim Kueberth) Sermon God s Dreams/Our Dreams *Hymn Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness #286 Sacrament of Baptism of Hadley Grace Crone & Hannah Brielle Crone Sharing our Joys and Concerns Leader : The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Leader: Let us pray Silent Prayer Prayer The Prayer Jesus taught Us 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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Invitation to Joyful Giving Offertory Be Thou My Vision *Doxology WE GIVE OURSELVES TO GOD S WILL AND CARE 3 Paul Manz
