WE GATHER

Welcome & Announcements (Elder Ann Wolfe)

Invitation to Worship (Rev. Eric Brotheridge)

Prelude: That’s My King by Taylor Agan, Kellie Gamble, Lloyd Nicks, & Jess Russ (Praise Band)

Call to Worship (Elder Ann)
   One: Come, people of God.
   ALL: We gather in a world where wheat and weeds grow side by side, where hope and sorrow, faith and doubt, justice and injustice are often intertwined. Yet God has not abandoned the field.
   One: Come, not because everything is perfect,
   ALL: but because God’s kingdom is already taking root among us.

The Lord’s Prayer (in unison)
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 sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
