Welcome! We’re glad

YOU are here!

October 11 - Indigenous Peoples’ Day

This coming week, and in some ongoing ways, we will seek out ways together to

honor and remember the Ho-Chunk Nation, people who have long lived on the land that is now home to Madison

and CPC on the shores of Lake Mendota.

Gentle reminders for the pandemic:

-please remain masked

-please socially distance

-please hum rather than fully sing

Thank you for caring for each other!

A community

centered in Christ,

gathering in love,

growing by grace,

going forth to serve.

Prayer (in unison)

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets hid. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Assurance of Forgiveness “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you, says the Lord.” (Isaiah 49:15; 66:13)

God, our Mother-Creator, brings you new life, forgives and redeems you. Take hold of this forgiveness and live your life in the Spirit of Jesus.

Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and made new!

Passing the Peace of Christ The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.

Prayers of the People & The Lord’s Prayer Today we honor Peoples Indigenous Day by speaking the First Nations Version of

the Lord’ Prayer.

O Great Spirit, our Father from above, we honor your name as sacred and holy. Bring your good road to us, where the beauty of your ways in the spirit-world above is reflected in the earth below. Provide for us day by day - the elk, the buffalo, and the salmon. The corn, the squash, the wild rice. All the things we need for each day. Release us from the things we have done wrong, in the same way we release others for the things done wrong to us. Guide us away from the things that tempt us to stray from your good road, and set us free from the evil one and his worthless ways. Aho! May it be so!

Reckless Love Words and Music: Caleb Culver, Cory Asbury, and Ran Jackson, 2017
