PRELUDE Adante John Stanley GATHERING TO WORSHIP INVOCATION Rev.
Dr. Valerie Jackson Please stand as you are able, join in the
opening hymn. *OPENING HYMN 145 Morning Has Broken Bunessan *CALL
TO WORSHIP Jeff Flynn, Liturgist Leader: Too often, Lord God, we
are hesitant in our proclamation; seeking safe and suitable
opportunities to speak of our faith. People: Too often, Lord God,
we are half-hearted in our service; reluctant to stand out from the
crowd or to attract criticism. Leader: Too often, Lord God, we live
as if dependent wholly on our own resources; relying on our
perceived skills and modest insights. All: Forgive the poverty of
our efforts and the frailty of our faith and open wide our hearts
and minds to the immanent presence of our Risen, Living and
Ascended Lord Jesus Christ. In his name we pray and say together:
Amen. (Rev. Malcolm Macdougall. Church of Scotland. April 2013)
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Rev. Debby Lawrence *PASSING OF THE

with you.”
