Song: "Come As You Are"
Song Leader: Our Gathering Hymn is "Come as You Are".
You may remain seated.
Come as you are
That's how I want you
Come as you are
Feel quite at home
Close to My heart
Loved and forgiven
Come as you are
Why stand alone
No need to fear
Love sets no limits
No need to fear
Love never ends
Don't run away
Shamed and disheartened
Rest in My love
Trust Me again
Come as you are
That's how I love you
Come as you are
Trust Me again
Nothing can change
The love that I bear you
All will be well
Just come as you are

Song: "Praise with Joy the World's Creator" (NCH# 273)
Praise with joy
the world's Creator,
God of justice,
love, and peace,
Source and end
of human knowledge,
Grace bestowing
without cease.
Celebrate the
Maker's glory,
Power to rescue
and release.
Praise to Christ
who feeds the hungry,
Frees the captive,
finds the lost,
Heals the sick,
upsets religion,
Fearless both
of fate and cost.
Celebrate Christ's
constant presence
Friend and Stranger,
Guest and Host.
Praise the Spirit
sent among us,
liberating truth
and pride,
Forging bonds
where race or gender,
age or nation
dare divide.
Celebrate the
Spirit's treasure -
foolishness none
dare deride.
Praise the Maker,
Christ, and Spirit,
One God in Community,
calling Christians
To embody one-ness
and diversity.
Thus, the world shall
yet believe when shown
Christ's vibrant unity.

Song Leader: Please be seated.
Lay Reader: Prayer for Transformation and New Life
Lay Reader: God of Grace, Mercy, and Redemption, the brokenness of the world surrounds us.
We may benefit from the brokenness.
We may participate in the brokenness.
We may persist against the brokenness.
We may move back and forth between those positions.
Wherever we may be situated, we seek your presence with us
to shape our response so that we may transition
from wounded healers to healed stewards of restoration, liberation,
and truth for your glory and love of creation.
Amen.
(Brief pause for silence and self examination)
Lay Reader: Words of Grace
Lay Reader: Beloved of God, the Holy One has given us the gift and responsibility of
stewardship, care, and concern for creation.
The Embodied One commanded us to love our neighbors and our enemies.
The Indwelling One journeys with us with wisdom, discernment, and truth
to equip us to be what the world needs from us and the Triune God hopes for us.
Receive the gift and the Giver for life abundant and flourishing.

Song: "A Woman Who Did Not Count the Cost" (NCH#206)
Song Leader: Please remain standing or rise as you are able and sing.
A woman came who
did not count the cost
of doing what she could.
She broke an
alabaster flask,
and sweetness spilled
on Jesus' head.
O God, you are the
Anointing one who
does not count
your passion's cost.
And when we gather
you will spill
the sweetness
of your grace on us.
Some only saw what
she had spent--
"Why such a waste
with poor to feed?"
They served the poor
well with their tongues!
But she had done
a lovely deed.
O God, you are the
Anointing one who
does not count
your passion's cost.
And when we gather
you will spill
the sweetness
of your grace on us.
You give as she,
surprisingly,
you give with
beauty as she gave,
You give as she,
not holding back,
you make us Christlike
with your love.
O God, you are the
Anointing one who
does not count
your passion's cost.
And when we gather
you will spill
the sweetness
of your grace on us.

Lay Reader: Scripture
Luke 7:36-50
(NRSV)
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: Luke 7:36–50 (NRSVue)
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and when he went into the Pharisee’s house he reclined to dine.
And a woman in the city who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
She stood behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to bathe his feet with her tears and to dry them with her hair, kissing his feet and anointing them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”
Jesus spoke up and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Teacher,” he replied, “speak.”
“A certain moneylender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
When they could not pay, he canceled the debts for both of them. Now which of them will love him more?”
Simon answered, “I suppose the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And Jesus said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
Then turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has bathed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little.” Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
But those who were at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” But he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Lay Reader: Scripture Response
One: This is God’s self-revealing through the stories of our people.

Song: "Like the Murmur of the Dove's Song" (NCH#270)
Song Leader: Our song is "Like the Murmur of the Dove's Song".
Like the murmur
of the dove's song,
like the challenge
of her flight,
like the vigor
of the wind's rush,
like the new flame's
eager might:
come, Holy Spirit, come.
To the members
of Christ's Body,
to the branches
of the Vine,
to the church
in faith assembled,
to our midst
as gift and sign:
come, Holy Spirit, come.
With the healing
of division,
with the ceaseless
voice of prayer,
with the power
to love and witness,
with the peace
beyond compare:
come, Holy Spirit, come.

who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.

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

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.
