Prelude Miriam Enman
Call to Worship
Leader: The people who have walked in darkness have seen a great light.
People: The light has shined on the nations who live in the shadow of death.
Leader: The true light that enlightens every person is coming into the world. The Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth, and we beheld his
glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
People: The Lord is our light and our salvation. We shall not be afraid.
Leader: The peace of Christ be with you all.
People: Amen!
Hymn Shine, Jesus, Shine
Lord, the light of Your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth You now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me
[Chorus]
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth Your word, Lord, and let there be light
Lord, I come to Your awesome presence
From the shadows into Your radiance
By the blood, I may enter Your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness
So our faces display Your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here, may our lives tell Your story
Shine on me, shine on me
Prayer and Lord’s Prayer from Before the Amen: Creative Resources for Worship by Sue Henley
Gracious God, you gather us here this summer morning as we welcome a new season. Your presence is made known to us in the beauty that surrounds us with flowers, birds, rain and sunshine. Summer activities speak of life and joy in our community. And yet, as we look around and listen to the news, we recognize that all is not well with our world. We confess we sometimes wonder what it is we are called to do. Forgive our faltering faith and bless us, O God, with a spirit of discernment in our decisions, with compassion in our conversation, with love in our listening, with perseverance in our praying, and above all with hope that holds us in all seasons. We pray together:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen
