The Call to Worship: One: Come, you who are weary, you who have borne the burden of the week and the heat of the day. All: Come, you who are enjoying summer relaxation and restoration. Come into the presence of the One who calls us to Sabbath rest and who makes all things new. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, let us worship God. Opening Hymn The Gathering Prayer Words of Welcome and Introduction The Prayer of Confession and Renewal (or #928 A or B Voices United): Lord, your presence is rest for the weary and a light for our paths; by your risen life and love, you are with us now.

As your creation is renewed by your breath, let us be renewed. Inspire us to hope, to justice, to reconciliation, to abundant and eternal life. 2 P a g e

Each week, we invite you to join us at 7pm for fellowship, finger food and music! You will be welcomed by a host who will share an Alpha film exploring topics like - Who was Jesus, How Can I have Faith and Why and How Should I Pray. Your host will then lead a discussion with the group about the film, as together we contemplate the meaning of life. There are no right or wrong answers - all are welcome as we explore. While we would love to have you join us for all 11 sessions, the format this year provides a unique opportunity to sample Alpha a week at a time as works for your schedule just like Wednesday Night Worship. As millions around the world have discovered, it¹s a very compelling program.
