Preparation for Worship
Let us join together now and prepare for worship.
Dear Family of God – these are trying days in God’s beloved world.
As Christ’s Church, sustained by the Holy Spirit, we have gifts and a call by which to care for one another and our neighbors. Worship in which we encounter our living God and know ourselves connected to the body continues. So this day we expand our worship into our homes, knowing that as we read the same Scriptures, and share in the same prayers, we are held together on this Sunday morning.
Let us prepare our hearts and minds to worship the living Lord.

Call to Worship
Jane Pellmann, lay reader
Hymn #418 “Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling”
calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals he’s waiting and watching,
watching for you and for me.
You who are weary, come home.”
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, “O sinner, come home!”
pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies,
mercies for you and for me? [Refrain]
promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and
pardon, pardon for you and for me. [Refrain]
Thompson
Prayer of the Day
O Lord our God,
you are always more ready to bestow your good gifts upon us than we are to seek them.
You are more willing to give than we desire or deserve.
Help us so to seek that we may truly find, so to ask that we may joyfully receive,
so to knock that the door of mercy may be opened for us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer of Confession
Jane Pellmann, lay reader
Declaration of Forgiveness
The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.
I declare to you, in the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
May the God of mercy, who forgives us all our sins, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the
power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life.
Amen.
Anthem “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”

praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, ye heavenly host;
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper
Rev Dr Jeffrey Beebe
Hymn #338 “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies”
for amber waves of grain,
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with *brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!
in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw;
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law!
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
till all success be nobleness
and every gain divine!
* Or “servanthood”
Materna
Benediction
Rev Dr Jeffrey Beebe
Congregational Response
Heasuk Che, organist
