GATHERING AROUND THE WORD

CAMBRIDGE CHIMES

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

GREETING EACH OTHER Ringing of Bell

PRELUDE “Magnificat Fugue” Pachelbel Lighting of the candles

SCRIPTURE READING Psalm 27 p. 437

*CALL TO WORSHIP L: We are called to follow Jesus. P: But following Jesus isn’t easy. L: No. It will demand our dedication and our energy. P: It will change our whole lives. L: Come, all of you. Come and learn of the Lord Jesus. P: Lord, we come, seeking your wisdom and guidance. Amen.

*HYMN “Jesus Calls Us”

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) Lord, it is easy for us to say that we will follow you, and then turn our backs and act as though our commitment to you does not mean anything to us. Jesus challenges us to take up our crosses, and when we don’t understand what that means, we just shrug and turn away. Forgive us for our lack of commitment and faith. Heal us of our greed and fears. Give us courage to be disciples and enable us to joyfully proclaim your healing mercies and your transformational love. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

(silence is observed for individual reflection and prayer)

*ASSURANCE OF PARDON L: Receive the healing love of Jesus. Give your lives to this service by serving

and caring for others. Be at peace. Amen.

*Worshipers please stand (as you are able)

JOYS AND CONCERNS PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE PASTORAL PRAYER

THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison) “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.”
