2 OPENING HYMN (The people stand if able) CHRIST FOR THE WORLD WE SING

Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with loving zeal! The poor and them that mourn, the faint and overborne, Sin-sick and sorrow worn, whom Christ doth heal!

Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with fervent prayer. The wayward and the lost, by restless passions tossed, Redeemed at countless cost from dark despair.

Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with one accord. With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare, With us the cross to bear for Christ our Lord.

THE SERMON (The Very Rev) Allen Kannapell

THE NICENE CREED (Please stand) We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his Kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

6 FOR GLOBAL MISSION Reader O God, You have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after You and find You; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen.

FOR OUR MISSION Reader Lord Jesus Christ, You stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the Cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know You to the knowledge and love of You; for the honor of your Name. All Amen.

Reader You are invited to add your own prayers at this time.

Celebrant: Heavenly Father, grant these our prayers for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION OF SIN (The people sit or kneel if able) Celebrant Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God. All Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You in thought, word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Celebrant Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repent and with true faith turn to Him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE SANCTUS (Sung) Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of pow'r and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna, hosanna in the highest.

Blessed, blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna, hosanna in the highest; Hosanna, hosanna in the highest.

Christ will come again. […] All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By Him, and with Him, and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and forever. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER Celebrant And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray: All 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 for ever and ever. Amen.

If you are receiving by intention, you are invited to meditate on Jesus’ Presence with us using the following Prayer for Spiritual Communion: Dear Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to possess You within my soul. And since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, I beseech You to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself to You, together with all your faithful people, and I embrace You with all the affections of my soul. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

You are always welcome and encouraged to bring special prayer requests to our prayer ministers or pastors after service.

COMMUNION WORSHIP ONE BREAD, ONE BODY Chorus One bread, one body, one Lord of all, One cup of blessing which we bless. And we, though many throughout the earth, We are one body in this one Lord.

Gentile or Jew, servant or free, Woman or man, no more.

Many the gifts, many the works, One in the Lord of all.

Grain for the fields, scattered and grown, Gathered to one, for all.

10 BE UNTO YOUR NAME We are a moment, You are forever, Lord of the ages, God before time; We are a vapor, You are eternal, Love everlasting, reigning on high.

Chorus Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain! Highest praises, honor, and glory Be unto your Name, Be unto your Name.

We are the broken, You are the healer, Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save; You are the love song we'll sing forever, Bowing before You, blessing your Name.

HE REIGNS It's the song of the redeemed rising from the African plain; It's the song of the forgiven drowning out the Amazon rain; The song of Asian believers filled with God's holy fire; It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation, a love song born of a grateful choir.

Chorus It's all God's children singing, "Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns! He reigns!" It's all God's children singing, "Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns! He reigns!"

Let it rise above the four winds, caught up in the heavenly sound; Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals to the faithful gathered underground. Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation, some were meant to persist; Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples, none rings truer than this.

Bridge And all the powers of darkness tremble at what they've just heard: 'Cause all the powers of darkness can't drown out a single word.

11 THE POST-COMMUNION PRAYER Celebrant Let us pray. All Heavenly Father, we thank You for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious body and blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we who receive, physically and by intention, are living members of the body of your Son and heirs of your eternal Kingdom. And now Father, send us out to do the work You have given us to do, to love and serve You as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To Him, to You, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

THE BLESSING Celebrant All our problems People We send to the Cross of Christ. Celebrant All our sins People We send to the Cross of Christ. Celebrant All the devil’s works People We send to the Cross of Christ. Celebrant All our hopes People We set on the risen Christ.

Celebrant Christ the Son of Righteousness shine upon you and scatter the darkness from before your path; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always. Amen.

CLOSING HYMN LIFT HIGH THE CROSS Chorus Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim, Till all the world adore his sacred Name.

Led on their way by this triumphant sign, The hosts of God in conqu'ring ranks combine.

Each newborn servant of the Crucified Bears on the brow the seal of Him who died.

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, As Thou hast promised, draw the world to Thee.

So shall our song of triumph ever be: Praise to the Crucified for victory! 12 THE DISMISSAL Celebrant Alleluia, alleluia! Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. People Thanks be to God! Alleluia, alleluia!
