CALL TO WORSHIP

LEADER: In the beginning…
PEOPLE: God guided Noah and his family through deep
waters until the dove returned with an olive leaf.

OPENING HYMN # 43“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
LEADER: This seems strange today.
PEOPLE: Yes, it does.
LEADER: Some would say we shouldn’t talk about Pastor
Chuck’s retirement and then we wouldn’t have to
process it.
PEOPLE: Maybe, maybe not.
LEADER: Talking we risk being sad; talking, we risk feeling
disoriented; talking, we might remember and
begin to laugh. Or cry. Or become anxious.
PEOPLE: Maybe we need to talk.
LEADER: Heaven help us.
PEOPLE: Yes, heaven help us!
LEADER: Maybe we need to look and see what heaven is
doing. As it was in the beginning so God is
beginning to create something new among us;
blessing and healing; loving and caring;
lamenting and celebrating…and changing us!
PEOPLE: May we look and see what God continues to do!
LEADER: And let’s confess those emotions that stand in the
way of growing in God.
ASSURANCE OF GOD’S LOVE
LEADER: Jesus said, “I will ask God, and God will send
another Companion, who will be with you
forever. This Companion is the Spirit of
Truth…You know the Spirit, because the Spirit
lives with you and will be with you.”
PEOPLE: And so it is! Thanks be to God! Amen.
