Announcements & Ministry Opportunities
†The Chimes
Three chimes are sounded, awakening us to the presence of God, alerting us to the voice of Christ, centering us in the embrace of the Spirit. As we gather, we present ourselves “as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual worship.”
Prelude Chanson de matin Elgar
Introit I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light Thomerson
*Call to Worship (From 2 Corinthians 4:4b-6)
One: The light of the gospel is the glory of Christ.
All: He is the image of God.
One: We proclaim not ourselves,
All: We proclaim Jesus as Lord and ourselves as His servants.
One: God said, ”Let light shine out of darkness.”
All: Jesus is our light, He shines in our hearts.
*Hymn Majesty # 43
*Invocation & Lord's Prayer
Gracious God, Come to us now in the quiet of this morning. Prepare our hearts and minds to hear your word and sing your praises. Open us to a new understanding of your love for us, a love so great it has room for everything
and everyone in creation. Help us to accept your love and pass it on to each other. Help us to listen for your voice in this hour and throughout our days. We ask this in your son’s name. Lord, hear us now as we lift up our prayer to you: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. AMEN.

Word of the Month: Perichoresis
From Greek: περιχώρησις perikhōrēsis, rotation) describes the relationship between each person of the triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
The relationship of the Triune God is intensified by the relationship of perichoresis. This indwelling expresses and realizes fellowship between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It is intimacy. Like water that spills from a full bucket when rotated, so is the love that overflows from the “divine dance” onto creation.
