PRAYER OF GRACE, RECONCILIATION, AND ASSURANCE
Unison: Throughout the human story the Spirit of God continues to speak, in visions and voices, in images and
ideas, and in all languages and all times, to all people in all places, inviting the people of God to discover new
revelation. And still the Spirit comes to us today in new voices and new visions and in new understandings of the
voices and visions passed on to us from yesterday. It may burn in our hearts like fire or whisper in the silence as a
still, small voice. It may sing to us from the stars or sneak up on us from within, or embrace us in the touch of
another child of God. But we are here today, because the Spirit speaks to us and we respond!
(Please continue in silent prayer)

In Unison

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,

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.

WELCOME!
We’re glad you are worshiping with us this morning. Please take a moment to leave some information on the attendance
register (small black folder) at the end of each pew. There are also nametags available in the pew racks. We invite you to join
us for Coffee Hour immediately following worship, for fellowship and refreshments in Fellowship Hall, which is located on the
entry level of the building.
As an urban congregation we are blessed by the opportunity to worship with and minister to people from all walks of life. Our
congregation meets the immediate needs of people who are homeless through several ministries supported by your offering dollars. If
you are approached by an individual worshiper for money, please direct them to the pastor for assistance.
CHILDREN WELCOME IN WORSHIP
Parents are encouraged to bring children to worship. We have an enclosed worship room available in the balcony for parents to
stay with your children during worship. Childcare for infants through pre-school is available in the Nursery (on the entry level)
from 9:45 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. You can use the Nursery for the entire time, or you are encouraged to bring your children with
you to worship at the beginning of the service for the Time with the Younger Church, and then take them down to the Nursery
to be picked up following the service. Children’s Activity bags are available in the narthex.
