Call to Worship

People of Hope, we come today to worship our God:

The One who lives and loves through each of us, 
Who renews our spirits and fills us with new life,
sustaining us and offering us rest for our souls.

So rise, people of God, in body or spirit, as we sing to our God!

**Processional Hymn:

Come and Find the Quiet Center

Come and find the quiet center in the crowded life we lead,
Find the room for hope to enter, find the frame where we are freed:
Clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes, that we can see
All the things that really matter, be at peace and simply be

Silence is a friend who claims us, cools the heat and slows the pace,
God it is who speaks and names us, knows our being, touches base,
Making space within our thinking, lifting shades to show the sun,
Raising courage when we're shrinking, finding scope for faith begun.

In the Spirit let us travel, open to each other's pain,
let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate the space we gain;
There's a place for deepest dreaming, there's a time for heart to care,
In the Spirit's lively scheming there is always room to spare.

Welcome and Life of the Church

**Sharing of the Peace

First Lesson: Luke 10:38-42

Our First Lesson is from the Tenth Chapter of Luke. Hear these words:

As they traveled on their way, Jesus entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at Jesus’ feet and listened to his words. Martha, who was busy with all the details of hospitality, came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that my sister has left me all alone to do the household tasks? Tell her to help me.” But Jesus replied, “Martha, Martha! You’re worried and upset about so many things, but only a few things are necessary – really only one. Mary has chosen the better part, and she won’t be deprived of it.”

May God bless the hearing of these ancient words. Amen.

**Gradual

Speak, O Lord

Choir:          Speak, O Lord, as we come to you
to receive the food of your Holy Word,
Take your truth, plant it deep in us;
shape and fashion us in your likeness.

ALL:              That the light of Christ may be seen today
in our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
all your purposes for your glory.

**And by grace we’ll stand on your promises,
and by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, ‘til your church is built
and the earth is filled with your glory.
Come and fill the earth with your glory.

**Gospel Lesson:

John 15:4-7

One: God be with you.
All:    And also with you.
One: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.
All:    Glory to you, O God.

“Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

One:  This is the Gospel of Hope.

All:     Praise to you, Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit.

Glory to God  

Glory to God in the highest, and to all creation, peace!

O God Almighty, we thank you and give praise to you for your glory.

Jesus Christ, Lamb of God, you take away our sin;

for you alone are the Holy One; you alone are Most High.

To Jesus Christ, at God’s right hand, and Holy Spirit, evermore

Be blessing and honor and glory; be all blessing and honor and glory.

Amen, Amen, Amen!

You Abide

Words and Music by Tom Grassi and Tom Fettke
Arranged by Tom Fettke

Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra

I once believed it was up to me to make it on my own.
Thro’ endless days I went my way and thought I was walking all alone.
But now I see that you were always by my side;
Through the joy and pain, through the seasons of my life.

If I cry, you weep, when I walk, you lead!
if I stumble you ease my fall. When I sing, you are my song.
Every victory, every crushing defeat;
through it all, you abide with me.

I know your love will lift me up when I’m too weak to stand.
I see your face, I feel your grace as walk together hand in hand.
Your presence glows like the early morning dawn;
Light that gives my soul lasting strength to carry on.

If I cry, you weep, when I walk, you lead!
if I stumble you ease my fall. When I sing, you are my song.
Every victory, every crushing defeat;
through it all, you abide with me.

You abide with me.

Praise You

Lord, I come to you today with a simple prayer to pray.
In everything I do, let my life, oh Lord, praise you.
Praise you, praise you; let my life praise you.
Praise you, praise you; let my life, oh Lord, praise you.

Lord, you formed me out of clay. And for your glory I was made.
Use this vessel as you choose. Let my life, oh Lord, praise you.
Praise you, praise you; let my life praise you.
Praise you, praise you; let my life, oh Lord, praise you.
Let my life, oh Lord, praise you.

Seek Ye First

Seek ye first the presence of God and God’s righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you; Allelu, alleluia.

Busquen primero el reino de Dios y su perfecta justicia,
y lo demás añadido será; Allelu, alleluya.

Shout to the Lord

My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like you;

All of my days I want to praise the wonders of your mighty love.

My Comfort, my Shelter, Tower of refuge and strength,

Let ev’ry breath, all that I am, never cease to worship you.

**Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing,
power and majesty, praises we bring.

Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of your name.

I sing for joy at the work of your hands, forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand;

Nothing compares to the promise I have in you!

**Prayer of Thanksgiving 

**Recessional

Sent Forth by God’s Blessing

Sent forth by God’s blessing, our true faith confessing,
the people of God from this dwelling take leave.
The service is ended, O now be extended
the fruits of our worship in all who believe.
The seed of the teaching, receptive hearts reaching,
shall blossom in action for God and for all.
God’s grace did invite us, and love shall unite us
to work for God’s realm and to answer the call.

With praise and thanksgiving to God ever living,
the tasks of our everyday life we will face.
Our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring,
embracing God’s children of each tribe and race.
With your grace you feed us, with your light now lead us,
unite us as one in this life that we share.
Then may all the living with praise and thanksgiving
give honor to Christ and that name which we bear.
