Come, Holy Spirit (VU 204) Come, Holy Spirit, Gracious heavenly dove; Come, fire of love.

Call to Worship (From Celebrate God's Presence) Jesus said: Love one another. We come to worship God who is love, That we may learn to love one another. Jesus said: No longer do I call you servants; Now I call you friends. We come to worship God, Whose friends we are in Christ. Let us sing praise to God, And live in love and friendship; Through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Morning Has Broken (VU 409) Morning has broken Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken Like the first bird Praise for the singing Praise for the morning Praise for them springing Fresh from the world!

Sweet the rain's new fall, Sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall On the first grass Praise for the sweetness Of the wet garden Sprung in completeness Where God's feet pass. Ours is the sunlight! Ours is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God's recreation Of the new day!

Prayer of Confession & Words of Assurance (From Celebrate God's Presence, modifications by Wicks-Potter.) Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Let us bring to God in prayer our burden of sin And our yoke of guilt, Confident and trusting in the Spirit of grace. From self-righteousness that will not compromise, And from selfishness That gains from the manipulation of others, Deliver us, O God. From the lust for money or power that drives to kill, Deliver us, O God. From the arrogance and thoughtlessness That abuses your good creation, Deliver us, O God.

From trusting in the weapons of war, And mistrusting the councils of peace, Deliver us, O God. From hearing, believing, And speaking lies about other nations, Deliver us, O God. From suspicions and fears That stand in the way of reconciliation, Deliver us, O God. From words and deeds that encourage discord, Perpetuate racist assumptions, Sexist stereotypes, and classist attitudes; From everything that contributes to oppression, Deliver us, O God. Amen. The proof of God's amazing love is this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. So, with confidence, I say to you: In God's great mercy, Receive forgiveness for your sin. Thanks be to God! Amen.

Just as I Am (VU 508) Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, though tossed about With many a healing of the mind, Yea, All I need, in thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, Thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now, to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
