Choral Introit No East or West McKee, arr. Mathis Sanctuary Choir

+Call to Worship Ruth Adams

Around the world people gather to break bread and pour wine.

We gather with them in heart and mind.

Around the world the broken body is made whole.

As part of that body we join in its unity.

Around the world the Banquet of God is prepared for the table.We, who share in the banquet, come eagerly to be fed.

Let us worship together, let us share God’s bounty.

Call to Confession Rev. Frenchye Magee

Prayer of Confession

God of compassion and mercy, We are your wounded and wounding children. We bring our wounded selves, our divided society, and our broken world, Seeking your healing and transforming grace; It is easy for us to point the finger at others. Yet we know that we all need your forgiveness; So we lift into your presence today, Not only the victims of conflicts, But also those we have called enemies. Break down the walls of hatred, distrust and bitterness And open a way for us to reach one another in truth and love. Enable us to build a society where all can belong; To share our gifts in mutual respect and to seek for the new future which you offer us through Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Silent Prayer

Words of Assurance

Anthem Let All the World in Every Corner Sing Ryan Murphy Journey and Sanctuary Choirs

Let all the world in ev’ry corner sing,My God and King!

The heav’ns are not too high,God’s praise may thither fly;

The earth is not too low,God’s praises there may grow.

Let all the world in ev’ry corner sing!

The church with psalms must shout:No door can keep them out.

But above all, the heart must bear the longest part.

Let all the world in ev’ry corner sing, My God and King! Sing!
