            Leader:            God be with you.

            People:                        And also with you.

            Leader:            Let us worship God.

            People:                        We open our hearts to God.

            Leader:            It is good to worship and praise God together.

            People:                        Let us open our hearts to one another.

            Leader:            We are God’s community under construction.

            People:                        Let us prepare ourselves for new life.

            All:                  Let us join together to build God’s realm on earth!

Leader:            And now, let us pray.

People:            Loving God, we know what you expect of us; To accept your love, to be loving toward others, to include everyone, to recognize our mistakes and mend broken friendships, to build a community of caring and giving.  Yet how easily we forget.  How easily we get caught up in busy-ness or worries of our individual problems. Forgive us, renew us, strengthen us, we pray.

Leader:            Our God is loving and forgiving.  We can be assured that God’s loving arms will tenderly hold us in forgiveness and send us forth to new life.

All:                  Thanks be to God.

*INVITATION HYMN 385:   “In Christ There Is No East or West”

 

Decisions of faith are personal decisions.  It is for us to choose if we will believe in God.  Decisions of faith are also public and corporate decisions.  When we choose to follow Jesus we are choosing to become part of the “Body of Christ”, the Church.  If you would like to confirm the decision you have made to begin your life of faith or continue that life as a part of this congregation, come forward as we sing the invitational hymn and speak with the worship leader about your decision.
