Psalms 100
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord is God! It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”
Hymn: “All Creatures of Our God and King” CCS 98
Prayer for Peace
How beautiful on the mountaintops are the messengers who announce peace. For the glory of God made manifest in the wonders of creation, we sing Glory be to the Father, as we ask for blessings and peace in the countries that are at war, that Gods Heavenly Spirit may go to them this day. In Jesus name, Amen.
Disciples’ Generous Response
Blessing on the Offering to be received: God, may our generosity this day be in response to the reality of your presence in this space. May you bless our gifts that they might further your purposes of joy, hope, love and peace in the world. May we continue to be generous with our financial offerings, and may we joyfully extend invitation and hospitality to others as we live into the peaceable Reign of Christ. Amen

*Words of Blessing and Departure
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever He may send you. May He guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
