THE THIRD
SUNDAY IN KINGDOMTIDE
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO
WORSHIP Terry
Ratcliff
One In a time of shifting human landscapes, where too many things seem
to be changing for the worse,
Many WE HAVE GATHERED TO REMEMBER AND CELEBRATE THE
UNCHANGING CHARACTER OF GOD.
One We are here to affirm that life is a gift, no matter what the
circumstances of life might be,
Many THAT THE GIFT OF LIFE
IS GOOD, AND THAT THE GIFT
OF LIFE COMES FROM GOD, THE GIVER OF ALL.
One We are also together here to renew our faith in Jesus Christ,
Many OUR SAVIOR, REDEEMER, TEACHER, AND FRIEND,
AS WE TRAVEL WITH HIM ALONG THE ROAD OF LIFE.
One We meet God in the memories we have of the past; we meet God
in the realities we have in the present,
Many AND WE MEET GOD IN THE HOPES AND DREAMS WE HOLD FOR THE FUTURE.
One This same wise and loving, forgiving and provisioning God is with
us
all the way, every day of our lives,
Many AND GOD NEVER LETS US GO, EVEN TO THE LIMITS OF TIME
AND SPACE.
One So let us praise the Lord God with our whole hearts and minds,
Many AND ENTRUST OUR LIVES INTO GOD’S CAPABLE HANDS.
AMEN.

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 trespasses,
