Praise the Lord, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!

For great is the Lord’s steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness

PRAYER OF PRAISE
We shout for joy to God who rides upon the clouds! We sing praises to our awe-
inspiring God, before whom the earth quakes, and whose abundant blessings
provide for all in need. You, O God, are Sovereign over the earth; you lead
captives to freedom and break the yoke of oppression. We sing praise to you, O
God, who dwells in holiness. O God, how awesome you are in your sanctuary!
You give power and strength to your people. We praise you this day for who you
are, and for your amazing love. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
HYMN
Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning, blackbird has spoken like the first bird.Praise
for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the world!
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven, like the first dewfall on the first
grass.Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden sprung in completeness where his
feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning! Born of the one light Eden saw play!Praise
with elation, praise every morning, God's re-creation of the new day!

This is Eternal Life
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
From a Brief Statement of Faith
We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of
God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by
word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the
brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and
believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was
crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the
world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking
the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. Amen.

HYMN
Lord of the Dance
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 would not dance And they would not
follow me.I danced for the fishermen, for James and John -They came with me and the
Dance went on. (chorus)
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. (chorus)
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black -It's hard to dance with the devil on your
back.They buried my body and they thought I'd gone,But I am the Dance, and I still go
on. (chorus)
They cut me down and I leapt up high;I am the life that will never, never die;I'll live in
you if you'll live in me -I am the Lord of the Dance, said he. (chorus)

For the Beauty of the Earth
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies,for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.For
the wonder of each hour, of the day and of the night,hill and vale, and tree and flower,
sun and moon, and stars of light;Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful
praise.For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind's delight,for the mystic
harmony, linking sense to sound and sight;Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of
grateful praise.For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child,friends on earth
and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild;Lord of all, to thee we raise this our
hymn of grateful praise.For thy church, that evermore lifteth holy hands above,offering
up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love;Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of
grateful praise.

I Will Send a Helper
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
From the Confession of 1967
God the Holy Spirit fulfills the work of reconciliation in human life. The Holy Spirit
creates and renews the church as the community in which people are reconciled to
God and to one another. The Spirit enables people to receive forgiveness as they
forgive one another and to enjoy the peace of God as they make peace among
themselves. In spite of their sin, the Spirit gives people power to become
representatives of Jesus Christ and his gospel of reconciliation to all. Amen.
PASTORAL PRAYER and the LORD’S PRAYER
HYMN
Though I May Speak
Though I may speak with bravest fire, and have the gift to all inspire,and have not love,
my words are vain as sounding brass and hopeless gain.
Though I may give all I possess, and striving so my love profess,but not be given by
love within, the profit soon turns strangely thin.
Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control, our spirits long to be made whole.Let inward
love guide every deed; by this we worship, and are freed.
