Thoughts around which to gather as we worship: When
we live with hope and trust in God, we live with an attitude of abundance. This
often is in contrast with a world that emphasizes the dynamics of scarcity. We
are called to be faithful stewards of God’s abundance. What does it mean to
trust in God’s abundant presence? In what ways might our relationships as
individuals and communities be changed if we follow God’s lead and live with
generosity?

WE GATHER TO WORSHIP GOD
Welcome and greeting one another
with the Peace of Christ..
One: The peace
of Christ be with you.
Response: And with your spirit.
* Introit Come Build a Church
Come
build a church with soul and spirit,
come build a church
of flesh and bone.
We need
no tower rising skyward;
no house of wood or
glass or stone.
Come
build a church with human frailty,
come build a church
of flesh and blood.
Jesus
shall be its sure foundation.
It shall be built by
the hand of God.
