Guiding Principles: Vocation + Mission | 1 Peter 2:4-10

welcome to WORSHIP

Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ.

God of Justice Love and Mercy

Edward M. Willmington

God of justice love and mercy
Pour Your wisdom on our souls
By Your all sustaining power
Keep our spirits strong and whole
Lift our eyes to see Your vision
Of a world in urgent need
Grant us courage then to follow
Bringing comfort with each deed

God of justice love and mercy
With compassion let us care
As we come in humble weakness
May Your strength be ours to share
Press our hearts to know the struggle
Of the ones we cannot see
Brothers sisters all who suffer
May Your kindness set them free

God of justice love and mercy
Send us out and make us bold
As we strive for Your high calling
Let our hands Your mercies hold
You have blessed us with abundance
Gifts to share with those in need
Father Son and Holy Spirit
May we follow as You lead

They’ll Know We Are Christians

Edward M. Willmington

We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity
May one day be restored

And they’ll know we are Christians
By our love by our love
Yes they’ll know we are Christians
By our love

We will walk with each other
We will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other
We will walk hand in hand
And together we’ll spread the news
That God is in our land

We will work with each other
We will work side by side
We will work with each other
We will work side by side
And we’ll guard each one’s dignity
And save each one’s pride

All praise to the Father
From whom all things come
And all praise to Christ Jesus
God’s only Son
And all praise to the Spirit
Who makes us one

Christ Be All Around Me

David Leonard | Jack Mooring | Leeland Mooring | Leslie Jordan

In ev'ry eye that sees me

As I go
Hand of God my defense by my side
As I rest
Breath of God fall upon bring me peace
Bring me peace

Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah
Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah

Your life Your death Your blood was shed
For ev'ry moment ev'ry moment

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Chip welcomed us and Sally and Tim invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Mady called us into worship. Chip led us in communal prayer. Christopher S read scripture. Jason E provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. Chip invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, Warren, Jonathan, Evan and Scott. Kathy and Marcie reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Stephanie and Kenny worked their technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
