Call to Worship
Cathedral of Hope, we gather today as beloved children of God. The One who calls us to be faithful disciples, Who equips us to build strong relationships and community, And who loves us without end. So rise, Church, in body or spirit. Let us unite our voices in worship!
**Processional Hymn: O Church of God, United
O church of God, united to serve one common Lord, Proclaim to all one message, with hearts in glad accord.
Christ ever goes before us; we follow day by day With strong and eager footsteps along the upward way.
From ev’ry land and nation the ordered ranks appear, To serve one valiant leader they come from far and near.
They chant their one confession, they praise the living Lord, And place their sure dependence upon God’s holy word.
Though creed and tongues may differ, they speak, O Christ of thee; And in the loving Spirit we shall one people be.
Lord, may our faithful service and singleness of aim Proclaim to all the power of the blessed, holy name.
May thy great pray’r be answered that we may all be one, close bound, by love united in thee, God’s Chosen One; to bring a single witness, to make the pathway bright
that filled with God’s own Spirit, we show the world thy light.
Welcome

Gradual Speak, O Lord Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra
Choir: Speak, O Lord, as we come to you to receive the food of your Holy Word, Take your truth, plant it deep in us; shape and fashion us in your likeness.
ALL: That the light of Christ may be seen today in our acts of love and our deeds of faith. Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us all your purposes for your glory.
**And by grace we’ll stand on your promises, and by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us. Speak, O Lord, ‘til your church is built and the world is full of your glory. Come and fill the world with your glory.
**Scripture Lesson: 1 Corinthians 12:12-18, 27-31a NLT
Our Scripture Lesson is from the twelfth chapter of Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. Hear these words:
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – Jews or Greeks, slaves or free – and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot would say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear would say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, for a purpose. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But strive for the greater gifts.
One: The Word of God for the People of God. ALL: THANKS BE TO GOD. AMEN.
**Gloria Glory to God on high and peace to all on earth.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Glory to Jesus Christ, the Lamb upon the throne.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Praise to the Holy Spirit
who comforts us now and forevermore, Alleluia. Praise the Creator, and Praise to Jesus Christ.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Amen. Amen!

**Recessional Go, My Children, with My Blessing
“Go, my children, with my blessing, never alone. Waking, sleeping, I am with you, you are my own.
In my love’s baptismal river I have made you mine forever. Go, my children, with my blessing, you are my own.”
“Go, my children, fed and nourished, closer to me. Grow in love and love by serving, joyful and free.
Here my Spirit’s power filled you, here with tender comfort stilled you. Go, my children, fed and nourished, joyful and free.”
