Welcome and Announcements

Shared by Pastor Ken

Opening Words

Led by Pastor Ken

One: Who are we and what are we called to do?

All: We are the sensitive and responsive ones called

to create a world where every person is radically

affirmed and barriers between people become

bridges of inclusion, justice, and spirituality.

Call to Worship

Led by Roy Zaborowski

One: Come as you are.

All: If you have deep faith or your faith has run dry,

One: if you know every scripture or none at all,

All: if you have calloused hands and live your faith

through good works,

One: or if you kneel at God’s feet, with a million hungry

questions,

All: come as you are.

One: This is a house of Spirit of Life and Love.

All: None are turned away.

One: All are welcome here.

Singing Our Welcome ~ All Are Welcome

Let us build a house where love can dwell

And all can safely live.

A place where saints and children tell

How hearts learn to forgive

Built of hopes and dreams and visions

Rock of faith and vault of grace

Here the love of Christ shall end divisions

All are welcome, all are welcome

All are welcome in this place

Let us build a house where prophets speak

And words are strong and true

Where all God's children dare to seek

To dream God's reign anew

Here the cross shall stand as witness

And a symbol of God's grace

Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus

All are welcome, all are welcome

All are welcome in this place

Let us build a house where love is found

In water, wine and wheat

A banquet hall on holy ground

Where peace and justice meet

Here the love of God, through Jesus

Is revealed in time and space

As we share in Christ the feast that frees us

All are welcome, all are welcome

All are welcome in this place

Word About Life ~ Luke 10:38-42

Shared by Pastor Ken

Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village,

where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her

home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s

feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was

distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and

asked, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to

do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.’ But the

Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and

distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing.

Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken

away from her.’

Moment of Silence and Meditation

Celebrations

Led by Pastor Ken

At this time, we share moments from our lives: birthdays,

anniversaries, and words of peace and justice. We celebrate

sorrows and grief as part of our comprehensive view of life.

Give voice to goodness!

Music for Thinking of You Cards

In the pew racks are cards with the title “Thinking Of You”.

Please use these cards to write a note to someone so they

know they are remembered and cared for. Put the card in

the offering plate when it comes by and the church office

will forward the cards to the person addressed in the card.

This was one of the elements of our time together that you

lifted up as important for all of us. Thank you!

Invitation to Give As A Prayer

Led by Roy Zaborowski

God of Grace, We long to do the “right” thing. We long

to make the “right” choice. We long to stand on the

“right” side of the dividing line. In our earnestness, we

sometimes miss the sacred right in front of us. In our

earnestness, we sometimes miss opportunities to

show love. Show us how to hold our heart’s desire for

perfection loosely. Show us how to lead with grace

and love, over anything else. For even more than our

desire to be right, we desire to be generous and close

to you. Show us the way through our sharing. Amen.

In response to our celebrations and the deep goodness of life, our offerings for the

celebration of life, in this place and beyond, shall now be

received.

Words for Mission

Led by Roy Zaborowski

One: As you leave this place, may you find God in every

messy middle things of life. May you know that the

world is bigger than two sides. May you trust that

you are made in the image of God, and therefore,

you contain multitudes. So may you move through

this world with an open heart, with a curious mind,

and with the confidence that you do not go alone.

God is with you in the mountains, in the valleys,

and everywhere in between. These are the times!

All: We are the people!

One: All of Creation is blessed!

All: May we love all and serve all!

One: God be with you

All: And also with you.

One: Amen.

All: Amen!
