Welcome & Greetings

Praise Songs/Choruses UECF Choir

*Call to Worship(Responsive Reading):

Leader: As a shepherd seeks a lost sheep,

People: So God seeks and saves the lost.

Leader: Like a woman who searches for a lost coin until it is found,

People: so God rejoices over one soul restored to wholeness.

Leader: As a father receives a returning wayward son,

People: so God welcomes us, and lets the past be the past.

Leader: Therefore let us praise God in thanksgiving that we are received.

People: Let us receive and welcome and rejoice over one another in the name of Jesus Christ.

*Opening Hymn ‘The Church’s One Foundation’ RCH#277

*Opening Prayer (in Unison) O Lord, this solemn prayer comes from deep desire that our lives be as pure as candle fire. Let our spirit glow so brightly that darkness meets its doom. May we be faithfully drawn to you as the moth is drawn to the candle’s burning. May our lives be devoted to serving the needy and to loving a suffering humanity. Lead us away from the path of temptation. O Lord, let truth alone be our destination. Amen!
