You are my all in all

You are my all in all
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Lay Reader: Scripture
Mark 9:30-37
(NRSV)
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: Mark 9:30–37 (NRSV)
They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it;
for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again.”
But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.
Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”
But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest.
He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.”
Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them,
“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”
Lay Reader: Scripture Response
One: This is God’s self-revealing through the stories of our people.
All: Praise be to God.
Song: "The Servant Song"
Brother sister let me serve you
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I may have the grace to
Let you be my servant too
We are pilgrims on a journey
We are brothers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load
I will weep when you are weeping
When you laugh I'll laugh with you
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till we've seen this journey through
When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony

Pastor: Offering
Pastor: Like the words of Psalm 54:6, we proclaim:
“With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, Holy One, for it is good.”
Let us give with the generosity of love made real, available, and free.
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

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

May they be a blessing and gift in our extended community and the world.

Make us your instruments of peace, joy, and hope in the world and agents of new life.
Amen.

O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
When I call, answer me.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, hear my prayer.

O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
When I call, answer me.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
Come and listen to me.

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: 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.

Song: "Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face" (NCH#336)
Here, O my Lord,
I see you face to face;
here would I touch
and handle
things unseen;
Here grasp with firmer
hand the eternal grace,
And all my weariness
upon you lean.
Here would I feed
upon the bread of God,
here share the cup,
the gracious gift of heaven;
Here would I lay
aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh
the calm of sin forgiven.

Pastor: Communion Invitation
Pastor: Jesus accepted invitations from everyone and ate at many tables.
He was not often the host, he was a guest among guests.
At this table where we remember him, we too are not the hosts.
We are all guests, all invited by Mercy, all summoned by Love.
Come, then, everyone, and enjoy Love’s hospitality.
Lay aside any need you have to be first or best,
Or to decide who is worthy to come and eat.
Just be grateful to be here, and open your hearts to praise
God, most generous and kind, the reach of your mercy is endless.
You find us all, wherever we are, and bring us to your table.
Your guest list is as unrestricted as your love.
For the gracious welcome we have all received, whether we came first or last, early or late,
with hands full of gifts, or with nothing at all,
we praise you, singing your glory for this day an forever.
Lay Reader: Responsive Communion
One: Now, O God,
we remember Jesus
All: We remember that he ate with Simon the Pharisee, with Zacchaeus the tax collector, and in Peter’s house after making his mother well
One: We remember that he ate in Bethany with Mary and Martha, and their brother Lazarus, whom he summoned from the grave.
All: We remember that he ate with the rich and poor, righteous people and sinners, friends, deniers, doubters and betrayers.
One: He told us not to take the best seats at banquets, but to defer to others; to be good guests.
Pastor: Communion
Pastor: And we remember that on the night of his betrayal,
he ate again with his disciples in an upper room.
He shared blessed bread with them, and poured out wine,
signs of his coming death, signs of a life determined to love despite the risk.
Pastor: Responsive Communion
All: Whenever we eat, with whomever we eat, as a guest among guests, we remember him. He is with us always, to the end of the age.
Pastor: Communion
Pastor: Come, Holy Spirit, Come!
Bless this bread and this fruit of the vine.
By our eating and drinking, open our hearts to other guests you are always inviting,
so that one day,
everyone who hungers will have an honored place in your house,
the best seats at your table.
Lay Reader: Communion
Lay Reader: 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: Thank You, God, for inviting us to this Banquet of Life
and feeding us with the good news of Jesus and his wondrous bread and cup.
You are always glad to have us here around your family table.
Pastor: Responsive Communion Blessing
All: Help us all to notice who is missing.
Make us everybody’s neighbor.
All: Send us to them as friends with your standing invitation to come, to eat, to know love and be in peace at home. Amen!
