PRELUDE
I’ve Got Peace Like a River with Standin’ in the Need of Prayer | arr. Mary Mc Donald
Wes Kassulke, piano; Doug Friend, percussion

* CALL TO WORSHIP | Connie Bookholt, liturgist
Come, people of God, and gather in the presence of the one who calls us by name.

We come to worship Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

God's kingdom is not distant or hidden away. It is breaking into the world through lives transformed by grace.

We are called to participate in God's work of renewal and restoration.

Christ entrusts his mission to human hands and willing hearts.

We stand ready to carry his love into the world.

Let us worship the one who leads us in the way of God's kingdom.

With grateful hearts, we worship Jesus Christ and commit ourselves to his transforming work in the world.

* GATHERING HYMN
Christ for the World we Sing | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 568 (verses 1,2,3,4)
Christ for the world we sing, the world to Christ we bring,
with loving zeal; the poor, and them that mourn,
the faint and overborne, sin-sick and sorrow-worn, whom Christ doth heal.

Christ for the world we sing, the world to Christ we bring,
with fervent prayer; the wayward and the lost,
by restless passions tossed, redeemed at countless cost, from dark despair.

Christ for the world we sing, the world to Christ we bring,
with one accord; with us the work to share,
with us reproach to dare, with us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord.

Christ for the world we sing, the world to Christ we bring,
with joyful song; the newborn souls, whose days,
reclaimed from error’s ways, inspired with hope and praise, to Christ belong.

* OPENING PRAYER
Gracious and loving God, we gather today in the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We thank you for revealing yourself through Jesus and for inviting us into a relationship that changes not only our hearts but also the world around us. Remind us that your purposes are carried forward through people who are willing to be led by your Spirit. Make us instruments of your peace, agents of your compassion, and witnesses to your grace. Transform us through this time of worship so that when we leave this place, we may continue the work of your kingdom in our homes, our communities, and our world. Amen.

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
A Modern Affirmation of Faith - Pentecost Season
We believe in God, creator of all things, giver of life and breath. God is present and walks with us daily through times of joy and sorrow. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh who lived among us. He was crucified, died, and buried. On the third day, He rose from the dead and lives today, bringing healing and hope to the world. He calls us to love God and all people, welcoming each person as part of God’s family. We believe in the Holy Spirit that came down on the first disciples to empower them, teach them, and lead them into all truth. We believe the same Spirit empowers us today as daughters and sons of God to transform the world with the amazing power of God’s love. We believe that God is still moving among us today: still creating, still restoring, and still filling us with power as we live each day for the glory of 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
For the Beauty of the Earth | John Rutter
Chancel Choir
For the beauty of the earth for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies: Lord of all, to thee we raise this our joyful hymn of praise. For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale and tree and flow'r sun and moon and stars of light. For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child. Friends on earth and friends above for all gentle thoughts and mild. For each perfect gift of thine to our race so freely given. Graces human and divine flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n.

SCRIPTURE
Acts 1:6-8 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Revelation 5:9-10 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 They sing a new song:

“You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals,
for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for God
saints from every tribe and language and people and nation;
10 you have made them a kingdom and priests serving our God,
and they will reign on earth.”

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

MORNING PRAYER

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.

* HYMN OF COMMITMENT
And Can it Be | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 363 (verses 1,2,5)
And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior’s blood!

Died he for me? who caused his pain! For me? who him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

‘Tis mystery all: th’ Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design?

In vain the firstborn seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.

‘Tis mercy all! Let earth adore; let angel minds inquire no more.

No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine;

alive in him, my living head, and clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach th’ eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own.

* SENDING FORTH

* RESPONSE
Spirit Song | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 347
O let the Son of God enfold you with his Spirit and his love.
Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
O let him have the things that hold you, and his Spirit like a dove
will descend upon your life and make you whole.

Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
