What you think of when you hear: "Jesus is Good News.”

Jesus Is

Good News

Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God,who forgives all our sin,whose mercy endures forever.

Amen.

Confessionand

Forgiveness

God of forgiveness,We confess that we are stuck in sin.We have tried to keep your grace for ourselves.Have mercy on us.

God of forgiveness, We have tried to hide you in a sanctuary.We have listened to people saying your mercy has limits.Have mercy on us.

God of forgiveness, We have felt like we were more worthy to receive your love than others…

And we have watched our sisters and brothers made unwelcome in your church.Have mercy on us.

God of healing, We know what kind of pain we cause, because we have been excluded, too.

We have been in places people say you have abandoned.

We have believed your mercy might not reach us.

We have believed we were unworthy of your love.And we have felt unwelcome in the midst of your people.

God of healing, Make us whole.

Must Be

Must be that the world's gone blindMust be that the world's gone blindI can't believe that we could see some thingsAnd just go on with our livesWell it must be that the world is blind

Must be that the world's gone dumbMust be that the world's gone dumbI can't believe that we could sit so silentWhen we see what we might becomeWell it must be that the world is dumb

Must be that the world's gone lameMust be that the world's gone lameI can't believe that we could sit so stillWhile the furious fan the flamesWell it must be that the world is lame

Must be that the world's been savedMust be that the world's been savedThe blind will see the dumb will talkThe chains will fall and the lame will walkAnd the dead will rise from the graveWell it must be that the world's been saved

We Are Not Overcome

Flesh will fail, bones will breakThieves will still, the earth will shakeNight will fall, the light will fadeThe Lord will give and take away

Because of His great love, We are not overcomeBecause of His great love, We are not overcome

Put no trust in the earth In the sod you stand uponFlowers fade into dust, The Lord will make a place for us

Because of His great love, We are not overcomeBecause of His great love, We are not overcome

Have no fear for your life;Turn your cheek, turn your cheekBear the yolk of love and death; The lord will give life and breath

Because of His great love, We are not overcomeBecause of His great love, We are not overcome

Because of His great love, We are not overcomeBecause of His great love, We are not overcome

Communion Prayer

Lord, you call us to build bridges.

Give us feet to cross over all that divides us.

You call us to bear burdens.

Give us strong backs to carry all that weighs us down.

You call us to break chains.

Give us hearts to love all those chained in the darkness.

You call us to bring hope.

Give us clear voices to share your love with the world.

Send us to share your love in the world…and the work we complete is yours.

Amen!

Rise up. We will walk together.Rise up. We will stand together.Rise up hand in hand together.Rise up, oh, rise up.

Christ humbled himself upon the cross.For we all have needs.And we all have loss.We join together with Him.Bringing hope to all God’s children.

Rise up. We will walk together.Rise up. We will stand together.Rise up hand in hand together.Rise up, oh, rise up.

The Spirit comes in the baptismThe Spirit breaths when we sing the hymns.The Spirit calls and sends us out. The Spirit joins us as we shout.

Rise up. We will walk together.Rise up. We will stand together.Rise up hand in hand together.Rise up, oh, rise up.

Rise up together! Go in peace to build bridges, bear burdens,break chains, and bring hope!

Thanks be to God!
