Upcoming Speakers: OPENING PRAYER
May 5th May 12 /19th May 26th June 16th O God, your son came in triumph among us.
He came, showing us that the walls we imagine between ourselves and
you are not walls, but doors which we open or close by our free choice.
We threw wide the gates of Jerusalem to greet him once.
We throw wide our hearts to praise you now for all your loving
kindness to us.
Rev. Gerry Mike Elaine Gerry Enter here, beloved God, be welcome in the place you have been
Copeman Marcotte Brummer Lougheed gracious to call your very home. Be welcome in our souls. Amen.
*OPENING HYMN VU 559: Come thou fount of every blessing was OFFERING (Unison)
PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (unison) Praise and thanksgiving bring hallelujah
Thanks for the food we eat,
We have not always welcomed you, O God. And for the friends we meet;
We have often slammed the door in your face. For each new day we greet
We have not always rejoiced at your triumphant presence among us. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We have often plotted in corners, seeking to destroy the life you bring.
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE / LORD’S PRAYER
In shutting you out, in plotting destruction, we have often wounded
our brothers and sisters – the women and men you gave into our care *CLOSING HYMN VU 330: Jesus shall reign
as members of the one human family. *BENEDICTION (Sung by all)
Lay your healing hand upon us, O God. Lift us out of the pit we have May God’s sheltering wings,
dug for ourselves; lift us into the light of your love. Her gathering wings protect you
Turn us from death to life. This we ask in the name of him who came May God’s nurturing arms,
to save sinners. AMEN.
His cradling arms sustain you.
WORDS OF ASSURANCE And hold you in her love, and hold you in his love.
