PRELUDE
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Pastor Kalyn Stevwing*CALL TO WORSHIP
We gather to worship the God who calls us to do justice.
God, here we are! All glory belongs to you.
We gather to worship the God who calls us to cherish kindness.
God, here we are! From you all good things come.
We gather to worship the God who calls us to journey humblyside-by-side.
God, here we are! Give us all that we need to follow where
you guide us.
*PRAYER OF ADORATION (unison)
Great God of Justice and of Mercy,
you promised us that your yoke is easy
and your burden light–
not because the path you lead us down
is never hard,
but because you bear every burden with us.
In this precious time of worship,
open our hearts to comfort and challenge
so that we may be sustained and transformed
to bear good fruit for your glory. Amen
* HYMN “ Here in This Place”
CALL TO CONFESSION

Liturgist Jen Davis401

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison)
God With Us, as one we confess our failings:
In times of trauma and hardship, you call us to lean on one
another and on you. But we retreat into ourselves instead,to wallow in our own troubles alone. We imagine ourselves
to be burdens, or accuse others of being dead weight. Ina world whose resources we have poisoned, a society divided
into the haves and the have-nots, your promise of abundance isjust about impossible to believe. And so we fall prey to mythsof scarcity and individualism that transform friends intoenemies, comrades into competitors.
Challenge us. Teach us. Restore us to your Way.
Silence is kept…
DECLARATION OF PARDONFriends, our remorse is a sign of God’s grace already atwork within us. Assured of God’s mercy, we are liberated
to seek new ways of being together. Friends, believe thegood news of the gospel
ALL: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!
* RESPONSE “Alleluia, Alleluia! Give Thanks” (chorus, vs 4, chorus) 240DISCIPLES LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD
SPECIAL MUSIC “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us.” Chris Mathias & Shirley
CHILDREN’S CHATPRAYER OF ILLUMINATIONTHE SCRIPTURE LESSON 1 Kings 19:4-8
SERMON “Eat and Drink”
DISCIPLES RESPOND TO THE CALL OF GOD*THE APOSTLES CREED (unison)
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell
the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended intoheaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communionof saints; the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body;and the life everlasting. Amen
SONG “You Are My Strength When I Am Weak”

GREAT POWER OF THANKSGIVING
THE LORD’S PRAYEROur 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;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thineis the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
THE COMMUNIONPRAYER
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
OFFERING*RESPONSE “Take My Life” (vss 4 & 6)
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold;take my intellect and use every power as thou shalt choose,every power as thou shalt choose.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure store;
take myself and I will be, ever only, all for thee,ever, only, all for thee.
