Song: "Joyful, Joyful" (NCH#4)

Song Leader: Please rise as you are able and sing our opening song.

Joyful, joyful, we adore you,
God of glory, God of love;

Hearts unfold like
flowers before you,
opening to the sun above.

Melt the clouds
of sin and sadness,
drive the storms
of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.

All your works with
joy surround you,
earth and heaven
reflect your rays,

Stars and angels
sing around you,
center of unbroken praise.

Field and forest,
vale and mountain,
flowery meadow,
flashing sea,

Chanting bird and
flowing fountain
teach us what our
praise should be.

You are giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blessed,

Well-spring
of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!

Loving Spirit, Father, Mother,
all who love belong to you;

Teach us how
to love each other,
by that love our joy renew.

Mortals, join
the mighty chorus
which the
morning stars began;

Boundless love
is reigning o’er us,
reconciling
race and clan.

Ever singing,
move we forward,
faithful in
the midst of strife,

Joyful music
leads us onward
in the triumph
song of life.

Open your hand and our hearts that we may join in this moment of holy encounter.
Forge us as a community committed to follow the path Jesus has marked for us.
Amen.

Song Leader: Please be seated.

Lay Reader: Scripture

2 Kings 4:42-44
John 6:1-14
(NRSV)

Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 4:42–44 (NRSV)

A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing food from the first fruits to the man of God: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give it to the people and let them eat.”

But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred people?” So he repeated, “Give it to the people and let them eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’ ”

He set it before them, they ate, and had some left, according to the word of the Lord.

Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: John 6:1–14 (NRSV)

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick.

Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.

When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?”

He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.”

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?”

Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all.

Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.”

So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.

When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.”

Lay Reader: Scripture Response

One: This is God’s self-revealing through the stories of our people.

All: Praise be to God.

Song: "I Love to Tell the Story" (NCH#522)

I love to tell the story
of unseen things above,
Of Jesus' radiant glory,
of Jesus' endless love.

I love to tell the story,
because I know it's true;
it satisfies my longings
as nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story;
and when I am in glory
I'll tell the old, old story
of Jesus' endless love.

I love to tell the story;
more wonderful it seems
than all the golden visions
of all our golden dreams.

I love to tell the story,
I tell it now to you
because I want to share it,
because I know it's true.

I love to tell the story;
and when I am in glory
I'll tell the old, old story
of Jesus' endless love.

I love to tell the story;
it's pleasant to repeat
what seems, each time I tell it,
more wonderfully sweet.

I love to tell the story,
for some have never heard
the message of salvation
from God's own holy Word.

I love to tell the story;
and when I am in glory
I'll tell the old, old story
of Jesus' endless love.

I love to tell the story,
for those who know it best
seem hungering and thirsting
to hear it like the rest.

And when I sing in glory,
I know the new, new song
will be the old, old story
that I have loved so long.

I love to tell the story;
and when I am in glory
I'll tell the old, old story
of Jesus' endless love.

"More Than Enough"
by Becki Slagle Mayo and Lynn Shaw Bailey
Used under OneLicense.net A-726183

(Pastor: wait for A/V techs to return to A/V booth and the Offering slide to appear before proceeding)

Pastor: Offering

Pastor: Generosity encourages us to consider what we have to share beyond our own use.
May we exhibit the generosity of the young person found in the gospel narrative that shared their lunch when Philip surveyed the crowd of thousands.
The miracle starts with that act of sharing and faith.

While we do not pass the plates for our Offering,
we do have offering plates at the back rows of chairs as you enter the sanctuary.
Please feel free to place your offerings there.
We also have a secure way to give online by using our webpage at campbellucc.com/donate

Let us pause and reflect as you give your offerings.

(Ruth plays a short interlude)

Now let us sing our thanks for our blessings.

Song: "Doxology"

Praise God from whom
all blessings flow;
Praise God
all creatures here below;

Praise God above
you heavenly host;
Creator, Christ and
Holy Ghost. Amen.

Pastor: Dedication of the Offering

Pastor: Sustaining God, receive our offerings and magnify them beyond our imagination for the benefit of your kindom, this ministry, and your creation.
Cultivate a heart of generosity within us and enable us to witness the abundance that can be found in the fragments that remain as testimony to your power at work in us.
Amen.

Lay Reader: Prayer for Transformation and New Life

Lay Reader: Creator God, we confess that we fail to recognize the bounty around us.
We are not satisfied; we never have enough.
We consider what we have received and what we have generated, and label is too little rather than sufficient.
We need to cultivate our imagination and our faith to observe abundance and opportunity rather than scarcity and deficiency.
Help us to comprehend that, in your kindom, the fragments you gather are more than enough for flourishing.

(Brief pause for silence and self examination)

Lay Reader: Words of Grace

Lay Reader: Beloved, you are enough.
God’s grace, strength, love, and hope meet you with sufficiency.
Through the Holy One’s sustaining power, we can gather the fragments that make our lives beautiful and God’s kindom real in the world.

Song: "Shepherd, lead" (NCH#774)

Shepherd, lead,
lead me in your
righteousness,

make your way
plain before my face.

For it is you, God,
you, God only,
who makes me
to lie down in safety.

(Wait for prayers to conclude, then Pastor may re-voice offered prayers or proceed to Silent Meditation)

Pastor: Silent Meditation

Pastor: Let us keep those and our unvoiced prayers in mind as we listen for God in the silence that follows the ringing of the singing bowl.

(The singing bowl is rung.)

Pastor: Pastoral Prayer

Pastor: (use your own or embellish this)
Holy God, hear the prayers we have voiced and those that remain unvoiced in our hearts.
Bless us this day with lives filled with love, caring, generosity, and deep, abiding hope.
We pray that your kingdom will dwell among all people, and that we may be instruments of your love and your grace.
Holy Spirit, open our hearts with the joy of healing a world filled with brokenness and pain.
In the name of the one who taught us the ways of light and love, be in our very lives.
Amen.

Pastor: Let us now pray together the prayer that Jesus taught us:

Pastor: The Lord's Prayer

ALL: Our Father (God/Mother/Creator),
who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.

ALL: Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.

ALL: Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors (sins/trespasses)

ALL: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

ALL: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen.

(Pastor and Lay Reader move to the Communion table.)

Song: "Eat This Bread" (NCH#788)

Eat this bread,
drink this cup,
Come to me and
never be hungry.

Eat this bread,
drink this cup,
Trust in me and
you will not thirst.

Eat this bread,
drink this cup,
Come to me and
never be hungry.

Eat this bread,
drink this cup,
Trust in me and
you will not thirst.

Pastor: Communion Invitation

Pastor: In the United Church of Christ, we practice an open communion,
which means all are welcomed to this table… God’s table.
You don’t have to be a member of this church or any church
to partake in the sharing of the bread and juice we use in lieu of wine.

Jesus said: "I am the bread of life.
All who come to me shall not hunger,
and all who believe in me shall not thirst".
With Christians around the world
and throughout the centuries,
we gather around these symbols
of bread and wine—simple elements
that speak of nourishment and transformation

Let us pray.
Loving God, we thank you
that you are as close to us as breath,
that your love is constant and unfailing.
We thank you for all that sustains life,
and especially for Jesus Christ,
who teaches us how to live out
an ethic of justice and peace,
and for the promise of transformation
made manifest in his life, death and resurrection.

We ask you to bless this bread and this cup.
Through this meal, make us the body of Christ,
that we may join with you in promoting the well-being of all creation.
Amen

We remember on the night
when Jesus and the disciples
had their last meal together,
Jesus took the bread, gave thanks,
and gave it to the disciples,
saying "This is my body,
which is broken for you.
Take and eat it, and as often as you do,
remember me."

(hold and break bread)

In the symbol of the broken bread, we participate in the life of Christ
and dedicate ourselves
to being his disciples.

In the same way he took the cup,
and after giving thanks
he gave it to the disciples, saying:
"Drink this, all of you.
This cup is the new covenant,
poured out for you and for many
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

(hold and fill cup)

In the symbol of the cup, we participate in the new life Christ brings

Lay Reader: Communion

Lay Reader: We are called into community, so that we may become a gift to one another.
Friends, there are a lot of tables in this world, but there is none like this one.
We have a seat saved for you.

As you come forward, please use the hand sanitizer station.
We have both regular and gluten-free elements for you to use.
If you would prefer to be served in your seat,
stay put and we will come to you.

The Table is ready, Please come.

Wait to advance to this slide until the speaking is concluded.

Communion

(The elements are shared.
Lay Reader returns to seat after all are served.)

Pastor: Communion Blessing

Pastor: Let us pray.
Holy Creator, we remember the sacrifice of Jesus, and all who follow to bring love and justice to the world.
May this bread and drink nourish us as they are the symbol of Christ’s essence in all of us.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.

Song: "You Are Mine" (TFWS#2218)

Song Leader: Please rise as you are able and sing our closing song.

"I will come to you
in the silence;
I will lift you
from all your fear.

You will hear my voice;
I claim you as my choice.
Be still and know
I am here.

"I am hope for all
who are hopeless;
I am eyes for all
who long to see.

In the shadows
of the night,
I will be your light,
Come and rest in me.

Do not be afraid,
I am with you.
I have called you
each by name.

Come and follow me;
I will bring you home;
I love you and
you are mine."

"I am strength for all
the despairing,
healing for the ones
who dwell in shame.

All the blind will see;
the lame will
all run free,
and all will
know my name.

Do not be afraid,
I am with you.
I have called you
each by name.

Come and follow me;
I will bring you home;
I love you and
you are mine."

"I am the Word that
leads all to freedom;
I am the peace
the world cannot give.

I will call your name
embracing all your pain.
Stand up,
now walk and live!

Do not be afraid,
I am with you.
I have called you
each by name.

Come and follow me;
I will bring you home;
I love you and
you are mine."

Pastor: Benediction

Pastor: May you, according to the riches of God’s glory, the presence of Christ, and by power of the Spirit,
be strengthened in your inner being, be rooted and grounded in love, and be filled with the fullness of God.
To the Holy One who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine,
be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.
Amen.
