OF CENTERING PRAYER
Leader: On
this day, we are not a single congregation,
Leader: In
a world that pulls us this way and that, God’s love is our True
North,
guiding us
with wisdom through all that life brings us.
People: Come,
let us worship God who loves us and guides us!
Leader: On
this day, God’s people gather in storefront churches and
cathedrals,
historic buildings, and modern structures.
All: And
we do so for one united purpose – to give all glory to our
Lord
Jesus Christ. AMEN!
**HYMN #525 (UMH)........................................................ “WE’LL
UNDERSTAND IT BETTER BY AND BY”
Today, God, we confess fumblings and failures in accomplishing unity, as we set
aside yet another day to remind ourselves of the difficult task to which we have
been called. On this World Communion Sunday, give us eyes to recognize your
reflection in the eyes of all Christians and even all people everywhere. Give us
a mind to accept and celebrate our differences. Give us a heart big enough to
love those who may believe differently than ourselves. We thank you for setting
a table with space enough for all your beloved children! In Jesus’ mighty name
we pray. AMEN.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is peace; where the
Spirit of the Lord
is, there is love.
There is comfort in life’s darkest hour; there is light and
life, there is help and power in the Spirit, in the Spirit of
the Lord.

(UMH PAGE 7-8)
GREAT THANKSGIVING
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 trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass 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.
Holy Communion will be served at the end of each main aisle. You may come
forward as you feel led and servers will give you a piece of bread and then a cup
of grape juice. You may consume the elements immediately upon receiving them
or go to the chancel railing to partake. The chancel rail is also open to all who
would like to pray. You may then return to your seat.
