Call to Worship
O let us give thanks to the Lord,
for the love of God will never end.
Let we who love God be unashamed to declare it,
because God has answered our cries for help.
The Lord our God has met our every need,
therefore, we will proclaim the love of the Lord!
—based on Psalm 107
Prayer of Confession
Dear Father, forgive our sins.
Forgive our impure actions, thoughts and motives.
Where we have lived for self, forgive us.
Where we have not loved you as you have loved us, forgive us.
Where we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves, forgive us.
We come in Jesus’ Name, our Redeemer, Lord and Friend.
Wash us in your grace, mercy and peace.
Fill us with yourself that we may live for you.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
The Earth Is Yours
Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see you
And start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising
Now it’s rising from the ground…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees you
And starts composing
The fields and trees, they start rejoicing
Now it’s rising from the ground
Now it’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
The earth is yours

Great are you, Lord, mighty in strength
You are faithful and you will ever be
We will praise you all of our days

You always answer when I call your name
You are my God and I will ever sing

Confession of Faith
In the light of divine grace, we recognize ourselves to be a Church of sinners.
We require forgiveness daily, and live only through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. He redeems us from our isolation and unites us into a living Church of Jesus Christ. Amen.
—from the Moravians: The Belief of the Church – ‘The Ground of the Unity’ of the Unitas Fratum in 1957
Praise To The Lord The Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise him
For he is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord
Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under his wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
If with his love he befriend thee
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him
Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him
(repeat)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sermon
“Our Shared Brokenness”
Jeremiah 29:1-7
The Lord’s Supper
The Apostles’ Creed (for reflection)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois
