Free to Be God’s People

We welcome all to this place for the worship of God and for Christian fellowship.  Let us worship God in spirit and in truth, reaching out to one another in Christ’s love.  We welcome our guests and visitors and hope you will join us again soon.

GATHERING AS GOD’S PEOPLE
Prelude                                     
Welcome
Greeting One Another
Call to Worship, Prayer
Leader:  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Do you remember the story?
People:  Yes!  We remember.  It was you, Lord, who scratched light out across the surface of darkness.  We remember that it was you who swept across the face of the sea.  We remember that you, O God, called us into being and made us your people.
Leader:  You do remember!  The story is older.  It is older than our bones, kept in faith, kept by faith.
People:  The story surrounds our senses.  We remember hearing the laughter of Sarah.  We remember seeing old Moses climbing mountains.  We remember dry bones rising up.  We remember the touch of God’s grace.
       All:  We thank you for being our God in ages past and for ages to come.  Today we celebrate the story that is strong and vibrant in the lives of all people.  May the word awaken us all today, so that we may never forget.
