Celebrating Life Through Divine Worship

Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

10:00 AM, September 19, 2010

The time of centering: We use this time to make the transition between “getting here” and “being here.” Take these few minutes of quiet time to get in touch with the calm places, the still, deep places in you; the spirit. Relax your body; quiet the inner dialogue of you mind. Focus on feeling, on being. Be receptive to your center – your reservoir of inner peace, strength, love. Be aware of being with others. Feel the spirit of the community. Welcome………..

SONGS OF PRAISE “Shout to the Lord” & “Grace Alone”

WELCOME

PREPARE OURSELVES TO WORSHIP

CALL US TOGETHER

LEADER: We gather today, seeking the peace Christ gives.

PEOPLE: We gather in spite of many a worry, many a doubt,

within our souls.

LEADER: We gather longing for the breath of God’s Spirit to

give us rest, courage, and renewal.

ALL: Come, Christ Jesus, be our guest, Bless us through the

power of your Spirit, and give us the courage to live as

your disciples, especially in these days. Amen.
