Passing of the Peace (Please be mindful of each other’s physical boundaries as we pass the Peace)

Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer

Eternal Spirit, Earth-maker, Pain-bearer, Life-giver, Source of all that is and that shall be, Father and Mother of us all, Loving God, in whom is heaven: The hallowing of your name echo through the universe! The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world! Your heavenly will be done by all created beings! Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth. With the bread we need for today, feed us. In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us. In times of temptation and test, strengthen us. From trials too great to endure, spare us. From the grip of all that is evil, free us. For you reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and forever. Amen

Music for Communion (congregational singing) Come to the Table D. Pederson

Come to the table, come as you are! Come as you’re able: see whose child you are. There is room at the table of the Lord.

Bring your burdens and your cares, take them to the Lord in Prayer. In our weakness, God is there, can’t you see?

When you come to the table, come as you are! Come as you’re able: see whose child you are. There is room at the table of the Lord.

In the mercy that abounds and accepting love we’ve found; With the blessed tie we’re bound as family.

Won’t you come to the table, come as you are! Come as you’re able: see whose child you are. There is room at the table of the Lord.

One Bread, One Body Refrain: One bread, one body, one Lord of all; one cup of blessing which we bless, and we, though many throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord.

Gentile or Jew, servant or free, woman or man, no more. Refrain

Many the gifts, many the works, one in the Lord of all. Refrain

Post Communion Prayer

SENDING FORTH Recognition of Adult Volunteers who work with our Youth and Children, Sunday School Teachers, Child Care Workers, Youth, and Kids Benediction

Song of Blessing Canticle of the Turning My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my heart is great, And my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait. You fixed your sight on your servant’s plight, and my weakness you did not spurn, So from east to west shall my name be blest. Could the world be about to turn?

[Refrain] My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn. Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!

Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me, And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be. Your very name puts the proud to shame, and to those who would for you yearn, You will show your might, put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn. [R]

From the halls of power to the fortress tower, not a stone will be left on stone. Let the king beware for your justice tears ev’ry tyrant from his throne. The hungry poor shall weep no more, for the food they can never earn; There are tables spread, ev’ry mouth be fed, for the world is about to turn. [R]

Though the nations rage from age to age, we remember who holds us fast: God’s mercy must deliver us from the conqueror’s crushing grasp. This saving word that our forebears heard is the promise which holds us bound, Til the spear and rod can be crushed by God, who is turning the world around. [R]
