The words God speaks bring all creation into existence.  The life Jesus gives is the re-creation and renewed birth of all that is broken and worn.  The spirit's stirring in our souls is the inspiration for creativity, compassion, joy, and community.  Life-giving, life-restoring, life-fulfilling God; may our whole lives be worship.  In all things, may we seek to reflect your love and your hope.  Amen

One:  God our Father, our Creator, who  

          made heavens and earth,

ALL:  Forgive us when we forget we are                Your children, and try to live life on

          our own terms.

One:  Christ the Son, our Redeemer and                  Savior, You lived and died for us all.

ALL:  You live again, and have prepared                the way for us but we turn away  

          from Your precious gift in our

          selfishness.

One:  Holy Spirit, the Sustainer, You move

          in us and among us,

ALL:  But we ignore Your wisdom and get

          so busy that we can't even feel Your

          presence.

One:  God, Triune, Three-in-one, help us to

          know You more fully,

ALL:  Teach us to die to self and to awaken

           to your forgiveness each day.  Amen

                       Silence is Kept          

Christ died for our sins.  He made a full atonement for us.  we are forgiven and we have the promise of eternal life.  Feel that forgiveness in your heart.  We are His children.  Amen

One:  Lord Jesus, open our hearts and  

          minds by the power of your Holy

          Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read

          and your Word is proclaimed, we

          may hear with joy what you say to us

          today

ALL:  Amen

The Christian life is an offering of one’s self to God. In the Lord’s Supper we are presented with the costly self-offering of Jesus Christ for the life of the world. As those who have been claimed and set free by grace  through faith, we now respond with gratitude; offering him our lives, our spiritual gifts, and our material goods. Friends, let us give prayerfully and cheerfully, out of our response to God's goodness in Jesus Christ!
