* CALL TO WORSHIP | Richard Sheffield, liturgist
Come, people of God, and hear again that you are beloved and claimed by God.

We come remembering that we are loved by a God who calls us by name.

From the beginning, God has spoken words of grace and blessing over creation and over our lives.

We receive God's blessing with open hearts and thankful spirits.

We are not blessed to keep God's love to ourselves. We are blessed so that our lives may become a blessing for the world.

Fill us with your love, O God, that we may share it freely with others.

Let us worship the One who calls, who blesses, and who sends.

With joy and gratitude, we worship the One whose love transforms us into a blessing for others.

* GATHERING HYMN
Now Thank We all our God | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 102 (verses 1,2,3)
Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done, in whom this world rejoices;
who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
and keep us still in grace, and guide us when perplexed;
and free us from all ills, in this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
the Son, and him who reigns with them in highest heaven;
the one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore;
for thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

* OPENING PRAYER
Gracious God, we thank you for calling each of us by name, for claiming us as your beloved, and for surrounding us with blessings we often notice only in hindsight. Open our eyes to the gifts you place in our path each day, and let those gifts stir in us a desire to bless others as freely as you have blessed us. Where there is need, help us respond in love. Where there is loneliness, help us show compassion. Where there is injustice, help us bring courage and mercy. Renew us by your Spirit, so that the blessings we receive do not remain within us but flow outward—into our homes, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and every place you send us. May our lives become a living witness to your goodness and grace. Amen.

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
A Statement of Faith of the United Church of Canada
We are not alone, we live in God’s world. We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit. We trust in God. We are called to be the church: to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God.

* GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

MUSIC MINISTRY

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing | arr. Rene Clausen

Chancel Choir
Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing they grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. While the hope of endless glory fills my heart with joy and love, teach me ever to adore thee; may I still thy goodness prove. Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be; let that grace now like a fetter bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, O take and seal it for thy courts above.

* DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

SCRIPTURE
Ephesians 1:3 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 

Matthew 5:1-12 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2  And he began to speak and taught them, saying:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God
