2 Ingathering Song Guide My Feet Words and Music: Trad. African American Spiritual #348, Singing the Living Tradition

3 Guide my feet, while I run this race. Guide my feet, while I run this race. Guide my feet, while I run this race, For I don t want to run this race in vain (race in vain) Hold my hand Stand by me Search my heart

4 Choral Prelude Calling My Children Home Waller/Lawson/Bailey/Yates; arr. Joseph Jennings

5 Those lives were mine to love and cherish. To guard and guide along life's way. Oh God forbid that one should perish. That one alas should go astray. Back in the years with all together, Around the place we'd romp and play. So lonely now, I often wonder, Oh will they come back home some day.

6 I'm lonesome for my precious children, They live so far away. Oh may they hear my calling...calling.. and come back home some day. I gave my all for my dear children, Their problems still with love I share, I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest To bring them home from anywhere.

7 I lived my life, my love I gave them, to guide them through this world of strife, I hope and pray we'll live together, In that great glad here after life. I'm lonesome for my precious children, They live so far away. Oh may they hear my calling...calling.. and come back home some day.

8 Call to Worship Rev. Kent Matthies

9 Leader: Come, all you who seek truth, abide in love, and honor peace, enter into this house with thanksgiving; come into these gates with praise. Enter into this sacred space, all you who hunger for righteousness. Through these doors, all footsteps lead to the source of our being, where we shall be filled.

10 People: For as we come together, as we congregate for holy purposes, we bring our desire to be faithful to meet the ineffable presence the numinous, infinite God. All: Together, we invoke the faithful to join hearts in this consecrated moment and we summon the Spirit of love, the eternal God of all creation, to guide our feet while we run this race.

15 Anthem The Road Home Words: Michael Dennis Browne (b. 1940), Music: PROSPECT hymn tune; arr. Stephen Paulus ( ) Copyright 2002, Paulus Publications; Used with permission

16 Tell me, where is the road I can call my own, That I left, that I lost So long ago? All these years I have wandered, Oh when will I know There s a way, there s a road That will lead me home?

17 After wind, after rain, When the dark is done, As I wake from a dream In the gold of day, Through the air there s a calling From far away, There s a voice I can hear That will lead me home.

18 Rise up, follow me, Come away, is the call, With the love in your heart As the only song; There is no such beauty As where you belong; Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.

22 Closing Song Sing a New World into Being Words: Mary Louise Bringle (b. 1953), Music: Ludwig van Beethoven ( ) Copyright 2006, GIA Publications; Used with permission

23 Sing a new world into being, sound a bold and hopeful theme. Find a tune for silent yearnings, lend your voice and dare to dream. Dream a church where all who worship find their lives and loves belong. Sing a new world into being, sing as Christ inspires your song.

24 Sing a new world into being, where each gender, class, and race. Brings its rainbow gifts and colors to God s limitless embrace. Where the lines that once divided form instead the ties that bind. Sing a new world into being, risk transforming heart and mind.

25 Sing a new world into being, where the homeless find a home. Where no children ever hunger, but are filled with God s shalom. Where all people work for justice, where all hate and vengeance cease. Sing a new world into being, raise the harmonies of peace.

26 Sing a new world into being, join the ancient prophets cry. For a time of health and plenty, when all tears have been wiped dry. When compassion flows like waters, pouring balm for all who grieve. Sing a new world into being, live the promise you believe.
