And, always remember, the way of suffering love that leads to the cross also leads to resurrection and everlasting life in Christ’s eternal community of oneness and peace. Trust in this promise.

and we look forward to the day

Creation groans for freedom, liberation;
grant us, O God, ears well-attuned to hear,
for in this moment, God, we are creating
the future that may bring your kingdom here.
Help us, O God, live daily in compassion,
make choices that will show your reign is near.

The peace of Christ be in us and shown through us,
and fill our world with harmony and peace.
The peace of Christ will fill us and renew us,

Help us to be responsive, God, work through us;

384 The Spirit of God like a Fire Is Burning

The Spirit of God like a fire is burning;
the latter-day glory begins to come forth;
the visions and blessings of old are returning;
the angels are coming to visit the earth.

We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of heaven,
“Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!”
Let glory to them in the highest be given
henceforth and forever! Amen, and amen!

The Lord is extending his saints’ understanding,
restoring their judges and all as at first;
the knowledge and power of God are expanding;
the veil o’er the earth is beginning to burst.

How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion
shall lie down together in peace with a child.
With one heart and mind may the Lord call us Zion:
a people of justice, by God’s love inspired!

We call in our solemn assemblies, in spirit,
to spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad,
that we through our faith may begin to inherit
the visions and blessings and glories of God.

130 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.
(last time) Amen.

For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild:

For thyself, best Gift Divine
to the world so freely giv’n,
for that great, great love of thine,
peace on earth, and joy in heav’n:

609 Take My Gifts and Let Me Love You

Take my gifts and let me love you,
God who first of all loved me,
gave me light and food and shelter,
gave me life and set me free,
now because your love has touched me,
I have love to give away,
now the bread of love is rising,
loaves of love to multiply!

Take the fruit that I have gathered
from the tree your Spirit sowed,
harvest of your own compassion,
juice that makes the wine of God,
spiced with humor, laced with laughter—
flavor of the Jesus life,
tang of risk and new adventure,
taste and zest beyond belief.

Take whatever I can offer—
gifts that I have yet to find,
skills that I am slow to sharpen,
talents of the hand and mind,
things made beautiful for others
in the place where I must be:
take my gifts and let me love you,
God who first of all loved me.

Sing of his mighty love, for it is wonderful;
let his praise through all the earth resound;

Addaan kami koma iti gundaway a dumngeg ken tured tapno agaramid kadagiti babanbanag a maipaay iti kinakappia.

Adda kadakamin iti sirmata O Apo. Ita, ikarkaragmi nga ikkannakami koma iti tured, pigsa ken determinasyon a mangaramid iti pannakabalbaliw tapno maipaay iti pannakabigbig iti tunggal biag.

Daytoy iti kararagmi iti nagan daydiay a nangiladawan ti pudpudno a kaipapanan iti panagbiag, naanus ken agnanayon a mangiyaw-awis iti panagtrabaho nga agpaay iti kappia. Amen.

Focus Moment

Based on Psalm 139:14-18

Show a clear container filled with sand. Ask how many grains of sand are inside.

Ask, If you were to count the grains, how long would it take? That jar of sand is like God’s love. God’s love for us is so great that it’s hard to count.

What are some other things that would be hard to count?

For example, leaves on a tree, hairs on our heads, blades of grass in the lawn.

When we look at a tree, or the lawn, or our friend’s head of hair, we see the whole thing, not the individual leaves, hairs, or blades. When we think of God’s love, we see the whole thing—our lives as precious to God.

Verse 18 of the psalm says, “I try to count them—they are more than the sand; I come to the end—I am still with you.” In other words, we don’t have to count all the ways God loves us; it’s just important that we know that God is always with us.

141 ITI DAYDI A RABII
(The Last Supper)

Iti daydi rabii, 

Panangtiliwda kencuana, 

Anac ti Dios naasi, 

Nga inyawat di gayyemna. 

Casangoananna la unay, 

Nangala iti tinapay, 

Nagyaman ket pinisina, 

Ket castoy ti insawangna. 

Datoy ti bagic canenyo, 

Napisi gaput’ basolyo, 

Toy darac met bingbingayenyo, 

Tanda’t tulag a baro. 

Ket daytoy aramidenyo, 

Ta pataycot’ lagipenyo, 

Iti gimong isipenyo, 

Ti ayatco cadacayo. 

Jesus, fiestam rambacanmi, 

Naganmo icancantami, 

Aginggat dica agsubli, 

A mangala cadacami.

636 I Have Called You by Your Name

I have called you by your name, you are mine;
I have gifted you and ask you now to shine.
I will not abandon you;
all my promises are true.
You are gifted, called, and chosen; you are mine.

I will help you learn my name as you go;
read it written in my people, help them grow.
Pour the water in my name,
speak the word your soul can claim,
offer Jesus’ body given long ago.

I know you will need my touch as you go;
feel it pulsing in creation’s ebb and flow.
Like the woman reaching out,
choosing faith in spite of doubt,
hold the hem of Jesus’ robe, then let it go.

I have given you a name, it is mine;
I have given you my Spirit as a sign.
With my wonder in your soul,
make my wounded children whole;
go and tell my precious people they are mine.

80 O Lord, Grace Our Communion

O Lord, grace our communion
in the promise of this hour.
We await some confirmation
of your liberating power.
Even though your saints here gathered
the human burden share,
in the warmth of your compassion,
how can our hearts despair?

Into lives weighed down by sorrow
let your Spirit gently flow;
may the bruised and brokenhearted,
resurrection surely know.
And so, renewed in spirit,
with newborn hearts aflame,
let this waiting congregation
rise up and praise your name.

567 Spirit of the Living God

English
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me;
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
