Call To Worship

Gather us in, the lost and the lonely, the broken and breaking, the tired and the aching who long for nourishment found at your feast
GATHER US IN,
The done and the doubting, the wishing and wondering, the puzzled and pondering who long for the company found at your feast.
The done and the doubting, the wishing and wondering, the puzzled and pondering who long for the company found at your feast.
GATHER US IN,
the proud and pretentious, the sure and superior, the never inferior who long for the leveling found at your feast
the proud and pretentious, the sure and superior, the never inferior who long for the leveling found at your feast
GATHER US IN, the bright and the bustling, the stirrers, the shakers, the kind laughter makers who long for the deeper joys found at your feast.
GATHER US IN,
from corner or limelight, from mansion or campsite, from fears and obsession, from tears and depression, from untold excesses, from treasured successes, to meet, to eat, to be given a seat, be joined to the vine, be offered new wine, become like the least, be found at the feast.

Opening Song Jesu, Jesu #432

Refrain
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love
Show us how to serve
The neighbors we have from you.

Verse One
Kneels at the feet of his friends,
Silently washes their feet,
Master who acts as a slave to them. (refrain)

Verse Two
Neighbors are rich and poor,
Neighbors are black and white,
neighbors are near and far away.
(refrain)

Verse Three
These are the ones we should serve,
these are the ones we should love;
all these are neighbors to us and you.
(refrain)

Verse Four
Loving puts us on our knees,
Serving as though we are slaves,
This is the way we should live with you. (refrain)

Verse Five
Kneel at the feet of our friends,
Silently washing their feet,
This is the way we should live with you. (refrain)

Offertory Prayer

Generous God, you have given so much to us, and we have offered back such small amounts in return. We have often served you as part-time followers, giving a fraction of our time and resources to your mission and an overwhelming share to our own indulgences. We strive to do better, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead – pressing on to the goal of serving Christ with all our being. In his name, we pray. Amen. (Philippians 3:4b-14)

Let us be bread, blessed by the Lord,
broken and shared, life for the world.
Let us be wine, love freely poured.
Let us be one in the Lord.
