Call to Worship:
Welcome to worship today!
Thanks. We are glad to be here.
Even when things get hectic, always know that you will find welcome here.
We are grateful for the hospitality and friendship that are offered here.
Come, let us worship the God who always welcomes us.
Let us open our hearts to Christ who welcomed friend and stranger alike. AMEN.
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
Let us join together in professing the Christian faith as contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. Do you believe in God the Father?
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Congregational Prayer:
Patient Lord, we want to extend the hand of welcome and friendship to all whom we meet, but you know that sometimes we shy away from reaching out. We make judgments about others based on their appearance and other surface factors, and we neglect your mandate to be a welcoming presence. That lack of welcome extends further when we see needs that must be addressed and choose to turn our backs. We turn away from the pain and suffering, protecting our own lives. Yet You
remind us that as we welcome others, so we are also welcoming You. Heal us and give us strength and courage to always be welcoming others in Your name. AMEN.
