Welcome, Announcements & Worship Theme
CALL TO WORSHIP:
We come here, some of us, as people who want more out of life. We come here, some of us, as people who sometimes settle for less.
Some of us have far too many attachments and need to let some of them go. Others of us lack sufficient commitment to people and practices that can more truly enrich our lives.
Even though many of us have much by the world’s standards, we can feel empty.
Some of us can get our priorities a little mixed up, and our relationships can use greater care and attention.
And so we come to worship God, to get re-ordered, to find new fullness and direction, purpose and passion, strength and inspiration to live as God has made us to live.
ALL: On this thanksgiving Sunday, let us find our way again. Let us worship God, together!
*Hymn: For the fruits of all creation No. 802
Prayer of Approach, Confession & The Lord’s Prayer
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,
the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
The Peace of Christ be with you all;
And also with you
(Children are invited to join in programming following the Passing of the Peace)
