Welcome and Announcements
Prelude Jason Troyan
CALL TO CELEBRATION Mark Davison
L: Gathered as God's people, we come to worship together;
P: Singing praises to the One who loves us, opening our hearts to the One who call us.
L: Called to be followers of Jesus, we come to share our lives together:
P: To celebrate the joys of our hearts, to mingle our tears with God's.
L: Challenged to become partners with the Spirit, we will seek peace and hope:
P: Offering our food to our enemies, giving a drink of water to those who
have drained our souls.

(Time for Personal Prayer and Reflection
[Unison] Sometimes it sounds too hard: deny ourselves, take up our crosses, lose our lives? Forgive us, Savior, but we'd rather you do it for us. Forgive us, Christ, but we are overwhelmed with what you ask of us. We long to see you come in glory, but fear the road we must take. Have mercy on our weakness. Be patient with our stumbling. Do not leave us behind, even when we are slow to follow, and lead us in your ways of peace. Amen.
