Prelude
I Come with Joy arr. John Carter
Welcome and Announcements
Rev. Lisa Hartzog
Call to Worship
Inspired by Matthew 11:29 and Revelation 21:5
Come all who are weary
of wealth, of poverty, of power, of struggle, of division
Come all who are heavy-laden
with too much, with too little, with anxiety, with fear, with anger
Come all who have hope
for liberation, for peace, for freedom, for the kingdom
Hear these words
“See, I am making all things new.”

Rev. Lisa Hartzog UMH# 895
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come; thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen

Today we see in part, and we trust that those who have passed through the veil see in full. Let us know the power of God is complete and is working in us right now. In the name of Jesus Christ we are forgiven and made new.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and made new. Thanks be to God.
