*Call To Worship Praise the Lord. Let all who draw breath praise the Lord! Happy are those whose help is from God— the One who made heaven and earth, the One who created the seas and all that is in them. Happy are those whose hope is in God— the One who keeps faith forever, the One who feeds the hungry and defends the oppressed. The Lord watches over the strangers. God upholds the orphan and the widow. God’s love is always with us. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. Let all who draw breath praise the Lord! *Hymn of Praise Christ Is the World’s Light
Scripture Luke 7:11-17
Daniel Pinkham Chancel Choir and Credo
Message
The Jesus Principle—Compassionate Relationships Rev. Ray Warren *Hymn of Response Morning Has Broken UMH #188
Time of Prayer - The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. We are not alone, we live in God’s world. We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit. We trust in God. We are called to be the church: to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God. Amen.
