KNOLLWOOD AT WORSHIP GATHERING FOR WORSHIP Please silence all electronic devices. Thank you! THE CHIMES Three chimes are sounded, awakening us to the presence of God, alerting us to the voice of Christ, centering us in the embrace of the Spirit.

All: We lift them to the Lord. One: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. All: It is right to give our thanks and praise! The Prayer of Confession Sometimes we have wanted to instruct Jesus regarding his lapses in judgment about the company he keeps. Like the Pharisee, we have grumbled when Jesus delights in someone we don t approve or understand. We have embodied judgment in word, gesture, disapproving glances and tones, and punishing silences. We have sometimes judged ourselves just as harshly. We seek approval, but long for grace. Help us, God, to remember that in Your economy grace gets the last laugh and the last dance. ~Mark Jensen The Words of Institution Sharing the Bread and the Cup This morning, we will serve one another Communion as brothers and sisters in the family of God. Please use the center aisle to approach the table at the front of the section where you are seated. Once a circle of worshipers forms around the table, the minister will offer the first person the bread of Communion and say, The love of God for you. That person then passes the bread to the next person in the circle and says, The love of God for you, and so on. As the bread is being passed, the minister will offer the chalice to the first person served and say, The peace of Christ for you. That person will dip his or her bread in the chalice and take Communion. He or she will then hold the chalice for the next person in the circle and say, The peace of Christ for you, and so on. Please remain standing at the table until everyone is served, then return to your seat by the outside aisle by the wall. (If you prefer to have Communion served at your seat, please indicate with a raised hand and a deacon will assist you.) The Bread and the Cup I Need Thee Every Hour...arr. Mark Shepperd The Chancel Choir [Text may be followed at No. 538 in the hymnal.] 4
