CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

P Blessed be the + holy Trinity,

the one who fashions us,

the one who heals us,

the one who reforms us again and again.

C Amen.

P Let us confess our sin, calling for God’s transforming power.

~silence for reflection and self-examination~

P Source of all life,

C we confess that we have not allowed your grace to set us free.

We fear that we are not good enough.

We hear your word of love freely given to us,

yet we expect others to earn it.

We turn the church inward,

rather than moving it outward.

Forgive us. Stir us.

Reform us to be a church powered by love,

willing to speak for what is right,

act for what is just,

and seek the healing of your whole creation. Amen.

P God hears our cry and sends the Spirit to change us and

to empower our lives in the world. Our sins are forgiven,

+ God’s love is unconditional, and we are raised up

as God’s people who will always be made new,

in the name of Jesus Christ.

C Amen.

GREETING

P The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,

and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

C And also with you.

PRAYER OF THE DAY

KID TALK WITH TREEHOUSE TERRY

OFFERING “Lord of the Dance” - arr. John Ferguson

I danced in the morning when the world

was begun, and I danced in the moon,

and the stars, and the sun. And I came

down from heaven and I danced on the

earth; at Bethlehem I had my birth.

Dance, then, wherever you may be.

"I am the Lord of the dance," said he.

"And I'll lead you all, wherever you

may be, and I'll lead you all in the

dance" said he.

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee,

but they wouldn't dance, and they

wouldn't follow me. I danced for the

fishermen, for James, and John; they

came with me and the dance went on.

Dance, then, wherever you may be;

"I am the Lord of the dance," said he.

"And I'll lead you all, wherever you may

be, and I'll lead you all in the dance,"

said he.

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured

the lame: the holy people said it was

a shame. They whipped and they

stripped and they hung me high,

and left me there on a cross to die.

They cut me down and I lept up high:

I am the life that'll never, never die.

I'll live in you if you'll live in me.

"I am the Lord of the dance," said he.

"Dance, then wherever you may be;

I am the Lord of the dance," said he.

"And I'll lead you all,

wherever you may be,

and I'll lead you all in the dance,"

said he.

Said he... said he...

"Dance!" said he.

SCRIPTURE READING Jeremiah 31:1-9

SERMON - Pastor Jeff Ruby

\

THE NICENE CREED

C We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;

by the power of the Holy Spirit

he became incarnate from the virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

He has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen

SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION WORDS OF INSTITUTION\ THE LORD’S PRAYER C 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,

as we forgive those

who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

forever and ever. Amen.
