    CALLTO WORSHIP from Psalm

    One: Like a tree planted by the river,Many: We come to sink our roots in Gods love.One: Like the leaves bouncing with ease,Many: We dance in the breath of the Spirit.One: Like the small nest in the crook of a branch,Many: We find rest in the arms of God.One: Like a bird pouring out sweet melodies,Many: We raise our voices in praise.

    One: Like the bright fruit on the tree,Many: We live and worship as witnesses of Gods grace!

    PRAYEROF CONFESSIONPersistent and loving God,You are forever drawing near to us, always calling us to follow,faithfully beckoning us to trust you in the deeper waters.

    Yet how often we choose easier paths and turn away from your voice.We see our limitations but not your assurance of blessing.We wallow in guilt and refuse to believe the Good News of forgiveness.We move so fast we miss your summons in the beauty of the day,the words of a friend, the hope amidst discouragement.Lord, speak to our hearts, lift us from despair,and place us on the path of discipleship, again and again.In Christs name we pray, Amen.

    ANTHEMAgain I Say Rejoice! Allen Pote, b. 19

    O rejoice in the Lord, my beloved. Rejoice in the Lord, my friends. Let us give thanksand sing for all that has been, and for all that is to come. Stand firm in the Lord.Press on to the prize of your calling, the calling of God through Christ Jesus.

    Move on from the past to what lies ahead, rejoicing in the Lord. Whatever is true,whatever is noble, whatever is just, pure and pleasing, whatever is commendableand worthy of praise, think on these things.
