*Opening Hymn UMH #568 Christ for the World We Sing (vs. 1 & 3)
- Christ for the world we sing, the world to Christ we bring,
with loving zeal; the poor, and them that mourn,
the faint and overborne, sin-sick and sorrow-worn, whom Christ doth heal.
- Christ for the world we sing, the world to Christ we bring,
with one accord; with us the work to share,
with us reproach to dare, with us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord.

Hymn of Preparation (OL) UMH #432 “Jesu, Jesu” (vs. 1 & 4)
Refrain: Jesu, Jesu,
fill us with your love, show us how to serve
the neighbors we have from you.
- Kneels at the feet of his friends,
silently washes their feet,
Master who acts as a slave to them. (Refrain)
- Loving puts us on our knees,
serving as though we are slaves,
this is the way we should live with you. (Refrain)

Invitation to Offering (OL)
Almighty Giver of All Good Gifts: Grow in us the wisdom to know that all we have to give is in our hands because you have given to us first. Remind us that you have called us to be your people, heroic in our patience, forgiveness, and love. May the gifts we share reflect our gratitude for your many blessings. We pray this in the holy name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Offertory (OL) “Etude Mignonne” Edward Schuett
Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
*Closing Hymn UMH #581 Lord, Whose Love Through Humble Service (vs. 1 & 4)
- Lord, whose love through humble service bore the weight of human need,
Who upon the cross, forsaken, offered mercy’s perfect deed:
We, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart,
Consecrating to your purpose every gift that you impart.
- Called by worship to your service, forth in your dear name we go
To the child, the youth, the aged, love in living deeds to show;
Hope and health, good will and comfort, counsel, aid, and peace we give,
That your servants, Lord, in freedom may your mercy know, and live.

Prelude
Kathy Ferguson, piano; Janet Tolman, organ
All: There is a wideness in God’s mercy, an unlimited invitation to grace and blessing. But first we must notice and then we must participate. Let us be a people grounded in love, heroic in our courage to seek and ask, so that God will restore us to the fullness all are promised. Amen.
*Opening Hymn UMH #154 All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name (vs. 1 & 6)
1. All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown him Lord of all.
One: The word of God for the People of God
All: Thanks be to God!
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
2. Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
Mighty and all-knowing God who sees us as we are and as we might be: What offering can we give that will bring you joy? We offer our gifts that you might dedicate them to the work of caring and compassion in our neighborhoods, in our nations, and throughout the world. Yet all the money we have can’t accomplish what you can make happen if we simply let Christ dwell in our hearts – not for an hour on Sundays but every hour of every day. This is the offering we dedicate this day. In Christ, our healer, we pray. Amen.
Catherine Shomar
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
1. A Roman centurion sought out the Lord:
“My servant is suffering, but just give the word!
For I have authority; you have it, too.
I know he’ll be well with a blessing from you.”
“There’s not, in God’s people, the faith I’ve found here.
And someday God’s kingdom will bring a surprise
With outsiders in and the heirs left outside.”
That just at that moment, the servant was healed.
That outsider saw it; may we see it, too:
That Christ has the power to make our lives new.

Hymn of Preparation (OL) UMH #141 “Children of the Heavenly Father” (vs. 1, 3, 4)
nestling bird nor star in heaven such a refuge e’er was given.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever from the Lord his children sever;
unto them his grace he showeth, and their sorrows all he knoweth.
4 Though he giveth or he taketh, God his children ne’er forsaketh;
his the loving purpose solely to preserve them pure and holy.

I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
