CALL TO WORSHIP

GATHERING SONG: ELW 526

God is Here!

God is here! As we your people

meet to offer praise and prayer,

may we find in fuller measure

what it is in Christ we share.

Here, as in the world around us,

all our varied skills and arts

wait the coming of the Spirit

into open minds and hearts.

Here are symbols to remind us

of our lifelong need of grace;

here are table, font, and pulpit;

here the cross has central place.

Here in honesty of preaching,

here in silence, as in speech,

here, in newness and renewal,

God the Spirit comes to each.

Here our children find a welcome

in the Shepherd's flock and fold;

here as bread and wine are taken,

Christ sustains us as of old.

Here the servants of the Servant

seek in worship to explore

what it means in daily living

to believe and to adore.

Lord of all, of church and kingdom,

in an age of change and doubt,

keep us faithful to the gospel;

help us work your purpose out.

Here, in this day's dedication,

all we have to give, receive;

we, who cannot live without you,

we adore you! We believe!

I Come with Joy

I come with joy, a child of God,

forgiven, loved, and free,

the life of Jesus to recall

in love laid down for me,

in love laid down for me.

I come with Christians far and near

to find, as all are fed,

the new community of love

in Christ's communion bread,

in Christ's communion bread.

As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,

each proud division ends.

The love that made us, makes us one,

and strangers now are friends,

and strangers now are friends. 

The Spirit of the risen Christ,

unseen, but ever near,

is in such friendship better known,

alive among us here,

alive among us here.

Together met, together bound

by all that God has done,

we'll go with joy, to give the world

the love that makes us one,

the love that makes us one.

Drawn to the Light

People who walk in darkness have sought

a light in the heart of the darkest night.

Just when we thought all would be lost,

we were drawn to the light of God.

Dawn is in sight! Gone is the night,

drawn to the light and the morning.

Glorious and bright, oh, what a sight

to be drawn to the light of God.

How can we tell a heaven from hell

if ev'ryone dwells in the dark of night?

Morning dispels, gently compels,

and we're drawn to the light of God.

Dawn is in sight! Gone is the night,

drawn to the light and the morning.

Glorious and bright, oh, what a sight

to be drawn to the light of God.

Where is the sun? Oh, there will be none!

The Lamb is the one who is shining bright,

bids us to come! Life has begun

when we're drawn to the light of God.

Dawn is in sight! Gone is the night,

drawn to the light and the morning.

Glorious and bright, oh, what a sight

to be drawn to the light of God.

God, Be the Love to Search and Keep Me

God, be the love to search and keep me;

God, be the strength to now uphold me:

O Christ, surround me;

O Christ, surround me.

Bind to myself the name of Holy,

great cloud of witnesses enfold;

prophets, apostles, angels witness:

O Christ, surround me;

O Christ, surround me.

Brightness of sun and glow of moonlight,

flashing of lightning, strength of wind,

depth of the sea to soil of planet:

O Christ, surround me;

O Christ, surround me.

Walking behind to hem my journey,

going ahead to light my way,

and from beneath, above, and all ways:

O Christ, surround me;

O Christ, surround me.

Christ in the eyes of all who see me,

Christ in the ears that hear my voice,

Christ in the hearts of all who know me:

O Christ, surround me;

COMMUNION SONG 1: ELW 484

You Satisfy the Hungry Heart (Gift of Finest Wheat)

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

As when the shepherd calls his sheep,

they know and heed his voice;

so when you call your fam'ly, Lord,

we follow and rejoice. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

With joyful lips we sing to you

our praise and gratitude

that you should count us worthy, Lord,

to share this heav'nly food. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

Is not the cup we bless and share

the blood of Christ outpoured?

Do not one cup, one loaf, declare

our oneness in the Lord? 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

The myst'ry of your presence, Lord,

no mortal tongue can tell:

whom all the world cannot contain

comes in our hearts to dwell. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

You give yourself to us, O Lord;

then selfless let us be,

to serve each other in your name

in truth and charity. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

COMMUNION SONG 2: ELW 469

By Your Hand You Feed Your People

By your hand you feed your people,

food of angels, heaven's bread.

For these gifts we did not labour,

by your grace have we been fed:

Christ's own body, blessed and broken,

cup o'er flowing, life outpoured,

given as a living token

of your world redeemed, restored.

In this meal we taste your sweetness,

bread for hunger, wine of peace.

Holy word and holy wisdom

satisfy our deepest needs.

Christ's own body, blessed and broken,

cup o'er flowing, life outpoured,

given as a living token

of your world redeemed, restored.

Send us now with faith and courage

to the hungry, lost, bereaved.

In our living and our dying,

we become what we receive:

Christ's own body, blessed and broken,

cup o'er flowing, life outpoured,

given as a living token

of your world redeemed, restored.

Come As You Are

Come out of sadness, from wherever you've been

Come broken hearted Let rescue begin

Come find your mercy Oh sinner come kneel

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame

All who are broken, Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home, You're not too far

So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

Come as you are

There's hope for the hopeless, and all those who've strayed

Come sit at the table, Come taste the grace

There's rest for the weary, Rest that endures

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure

So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame

All who are broken, Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home, You're not too far

So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

Come as you are, Come as you are

Fall in God’s arms, Come as you are

There's joy for the morning, Oh sinner be still

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame

All who are broken, Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home, You're not too far

So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

Come as you are, Come as you are,

Build a Longer Table

Build a longer table, not a higher wall,

feeding those who hunger, making room for all.

Feasting together, stranger turns to friend,

Christ breaks walls to pieces; false divisions end.

Build a safer refuge, not a larger jail;

where the weak find shelter, mercy will not fail.

For any place where justice is denied,

Christ will breach the jail wall, freeing all inside.

Build a broader doorway, not a longer fence.

Love protects all people, sparing no expense.

When we embrace compassion more than fear,

Christ tears down our fences: all are welcome here.

When we lived as exiles, refugees abroad,

Christ became our doorway to the reign of God.

So must our tables welcome those who roam.

None can be excluded; all must find a home.

Though I should wander the valley of death,

I fear no evil, for you are at my side,

your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope.

Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants,

You have set me a banquet of love

crowning me with love beyond my pow'r to hold.

Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants,
