Choral Prelude: “Alleluia” Robert McWilliams, Eric Markinson, Michael Manes
Call to Worship: Jacqueline Elbel
As you walk with us, as we journey together,
Lord, your word fills our hearts!
As you speak with us, as your love is revealed,
Lord, your fire burns in our hearts!
As we proclaim what we have seen and heard,
may all people be drawn to you, the risen Lord!
Hymn “I’ll Praise My Maker While I’ve Breath” UMH #60
1 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life, and thought, and being last, or immortality endures.
2 Happy are they whose hopes rely on Israel's God, who made the sky and earth and seas, with all their train; whose truth for ever stands secure,
who saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor, for none shall find God's promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind; the Lord supports the fainting mind and sends the laboring conscience peace. God helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I'll praise my God who lends me breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life, and thought, and being last, or immortality endures.

Emable Nahimana, Azxighale Orgboo and Rama Ejide.
Each one of you is a special part of this congregation. No one else, in the whole world, is quite like you.
We are proud of you, and we love you.
We bless you to grow, in body and mind and spirit.
We bless you to make mistakes, and to learn from them, even if the consequences are difficult and painful.
We bless you to explore life, to be adventurous in discovering who God has created you to be.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
and lean not upon your own understanding.
Seek God’s will in all you do, and God will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
We promise to support you with our love, counsel and prayers, and continue to walk with you on your journey of faith.

Each petition: “Lord...” All Respond: Hear Our Prayers
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
