Gathering in God’s Presence

Prelude

Welcome and Announcements 

Transition FYI

Centering Time    

 Surely the presence 
of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel God's mighty power
and God's grace.
I can hear the brush of angels’ wings,
         I see glory on each face;

         Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

Call to Worship
L:  A new song, a song of Lent,
R:  Arising from our life together
L:  A song of praise,
R:  Redeeming our tragedies
and celebrating our triumphs.
L:  A song of joy,
R:  To God who reveals in our uniqueness 
and delights in our commons  
L:  A song of love,

who restores hope 
to the despairing,
who brings light into the darkness 
and blesses us each day.

Nothing will I fear

Words of Institution          
L. For I received from the Lord 
what I also delivered to you, 
that the Lord Jesus on the night 
he was betrayed took bread,
and when he had given thanks, 
he broke it and said,
R: This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
L: In the same way also the cup, after supper saying,
R: This cup is the new covenant in my blood.  Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
L: For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 

Prayer to Bless the Loaf and Cup

*Choral Benediction     
"We Are A Church"
We are a church........ 
We are a congregation
And within this house of God
We feel God's mercy and grace.
We are a church....... 
We are a congregation
a community of souls 
who come to worship and pray.
We are a church
