LARGE PRINT VERSION AVAILABLE

Within these walls, we assemble. Within

these walls, we gather in your name.

As we join our hearts in a holy union,

We come to find communion in your

holiness again.

Within these walls, let there be harmony;

A common bond; a Spirit from above.

And as your children let us love each other

as sisters and as brothers united by your

love.

We are the branches, You are the vine.

We are the vessels and You are the wine.

We are the body, You are the Head.

For every hunger, You are the Bread.

Within these walls, let there be refuge,

a place of rest when doubts and trials

form. And let us lift each other as we

gather to find your peace no matter how

terrible the storm.

Within these walls, give us your vision.

Within these walls, let us understand that

beyond these walls, there are hurting

people who have never felt your healing

hand.

Beyond these walls, send us forward.

Beyond these walls, let your will be done.

We are your people; You will leave us

never and we shall work together until your

kingdom comes. Your kingdom come!

Within these walls, let us listen. Within

these walls, let us pray. Let us pray.

CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

P Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, the eternal voice from heaven,

the anointed and beloved one,

the Spirit moving over the waters.

C Amen.

P As we approach the mystery of God, let us come in confession, trusting the love of Christ crucified and risen.

~silence for reflection and self-examination~

P God who searches us and knows us, C you have shown us what is good, but we have looked to other lights to find our way.

We have not been just in our dealings with others.

We have chosen revenge over mercy.

We have promoted ourselves

instead of walking humbly with you.

With what shall we come before you?

Forgive us our sin,

and show us your salvation

in the face of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

P Beloved of God, we have not received the spirit of the world,

but the Spirit that is from God,

poured out for us in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

Receive the promise of baptism:

We are God’s children; ☩ our sins are forgiven.

Rejoice and be glad, for ours is the kingdom of heaven.

C Amen.

GREETING

P The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

C And also with you.

SPECIAL MUSIC “Simple Gifts” - arr. Mark Hayes

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,

'tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

and when we find ourselves in the place just right

‘twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,

to bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed,

to turn, turn will be our delight,

till by turning, turning, we come ‘round right.
