Come! Open your heart!

So hatred and
blindness will be no more!
We are called

Sing! Sing a new song!
Sing of that great day
when all will be one!

as sisters and brothers
united in love!
We are called
to act with justice.
We are called
to love tenderly.
We are called
to serve one another,
to walk humbly with God.

Song Leader: Please be seated.
Lay Reader: Prayer for Transformation and New Life
Lay Reader: Sovereign God, how often do we turn toward ourselves or others for validation, salvation, and deliverance rather than seek your wisdom, will, and way?
How often have we sought our own measure of greatness apart from the realm of your kindom?
How long have you waited for us to seek you?
Forgive us, O God, and call us back to your presence, plan, and purpose.
(Brief pause for silence and self examination)
Lay Reader: Words of Grace
Lay Reader: The One who creates us in the divine image knows how tempted we may be to consider ourselves more highly than we ought or more lowly than we should.
The One who knows us continually reaches toward us with the promise of grace and the hope of mercy, faithfulness, and love.
Receive God’s forgiveness and restorative embrace.
Amen.
Pastor: Passing of the Peace-Invitation
Pastor: With the reassurance of God’s love and forgiveness, let us pass God’s blessings of peace among one another.
Pastor: Passing of the Peace
One: May the peace and joy of Christ be with you.
ALL: And also with you.

Pastor: Passing of the Peace

Song: "Christ Be Our Light"
Song Leader: Please remain standing or rise as you are able and sing.
Longing for light,
we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth,
we turn to you.
Make us your own,
your holy people,
Light for the world to see.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through
the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church
gathered today.
Longing for peace,
our world is troubled.
Longing for hope,
many despair.
Your word alone
has pow'r to save us.
Make us your living voice.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through
the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church
gathered today.
Many the gifts,

Many the hearts
that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants
to one another,
Making your kingdom come.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through
the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church
gathered today.

Lay Reader: Scripture
Isaiah 9:2
Psalm 27: 1
Matthew 4:12-23
(NRSVue)
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: Isaiah 9:2 (NRSVue)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness— on them light has shined.
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: Psalm 27:1 (NRSVue)
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: Matthew 4:12–23 (NRSVue)
Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali,
so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the gentiles—
the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.”
From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishers.
And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Lay Reader: Scripture Response
One: This is God’s self-revealing through the stories of our people.
All: Praise be to God.

Let us pause and reflect as you give your offerings.
(Ruth plays a short interlude)
Great God, receive our gifts of ourselves and our resources for the benefit and building of the kin-dom.
Now let us stand and sing our thanks for our blessings.

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

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

Song: "You Have Come Down to the Lakeshore" (NCH#173)
Song Leader: Our song is "You Have Come Down to the Lakeshore".
You have come
down to the lakeshore
Seeking neither
the wise nor the wealthy,
But only asking
for me to follow.
O Jesus, you have
looked into my eyes;
Kindly smiling,
you've called out my name.
On the sand I
have abandoned
my small boat;
Now with you I
will seek other seas.
You know full well
my possessions.
Neither treasure
nor weapons for conquest,
Just these my fish nets
and will for working.
O Jesus, you have
looked into my eyes;
Kindly smiling,
you've called out my name.
On the sand I
have abandoned
my small boat;
Now with you I
will seek other seas.

Holy God, hear the prayers we have voiced and those that remain unvoiced in our hearts.

We pray that your kingdom will dwell among all people, and that we may be instruments of your love and your grace.

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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us (sins/debts)
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: "I Come with Joy" (NCH#349)
I come with joy,
a child of God,
Forgiven, loved,
and free,
The life of Jesus to recall,
In love laid down for me,
In love laid down for me.
As Christ breaks bread,
and bids us share,
Each proud division ends.
The love that made us,
makes us one,
And strangers
now are friends,
And strangers
now are friends.

Pastor: Communion Invitation
Pastor: Here at this Table, there is enough room, enough food, enough love for everyone.
Here at this Table, Jesus is standing up on his chair, waving his hands over his head, saying to each of you,
“I saved you a seat!”
Here at this Table, you are wanted and welcomed. You are safe and loved.
Here at this Table, you belong.
So my friends, there is no need for fear here, for this is a joyful feast.
And you are invited. All are welcome.
Pastor: Communion
Pastor: Loving God, pour out your Spirit on this Table.
Pour out your Spirit on this ordinary bread.
Pour out your Spirit on this ordinary juice.
For the thing we fear the most is distance from you,
Draw near to us here.
Saturate this room with your Spirit and this Table with your love. Amen
On the night of his arrest, Jesus took bread,
and after giving thanks to God, broke it and said,
"This is my body which is for you;
do this remembering me."
After supper, Jesus took the cup and, after giving thanks to God, said,
"This is the cup of the new covenant;
whenever you drink it,
do this remembering me."

Song: "I Am The Light Of The World" (NCH#584)
Song Leader: Please rise as you are able and sing our closing song.
I am the light
of the world
You people come
and follow me
If you follow and love
you'll learn the mystery
Of what you were
meant to do and be
When the song of
the angels is stilled
When the star
in the sky is gone
When the sages
and the shepherds
Have found
their way home
The work of
Christmas is begun
I am the light
of the world
You people come
and follow me
If you follow and love
you'll learn the mystery
Of what you were
meant to do and be
To find the
lost and lonely one
To heal
the broken soul with love
To feed
the hungry children
With warmth
and good food
To feel the earth below
the sky above
I am the light
of the world
You people come
and follow me
If you follow and love
you'll learn the mystery
Of what you were
meant to do and be
To bring hope
to ev'ry task you do
To dance
at a baby's new birth
To make
music in an
old person's heart
And sing
to the colors
of the earth
I am the light
of the world
You people come
and follow me
If you follow and love
you'll learn the mystery
Of what you were
meant to do and be

Pastor: Benediction
Pastor: Go forth, let your light shine before all,
so they may see your good works and give glory to the Holy one in Heaven.
Place your gift of Light at my Altar,
where it will show itself brightly for all to see,
For those who share my Light shall not thirst,
but rather ripen with the Light of life.
Amen.
