Bread of angels, here on earth our food, our stay; Alleluia! here the sinful flee to you from day to day.

King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne.

1 Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna! Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder: all creation is amazed. In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: "Christ is risen! Get you gone!"' God the First and Last is with us. Sing Hosanna everyone!

Prelude When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Call to Worship Rev. Sarah Logemann Welcome Rev. Garrett Mostowski
Hymn 372: O For a World 1 O for a world where everyone respects each other’s ways, where love is lived and all is done with justice and with praise. 2 O for a world where goods are shared and misery relieved, where truth is spoken, children spared, equality achieved. 3 We welcome one world family and struggle with each choice that opens us to unity and gives our vision voice. 4 The poor are rich; the weak are strong; the foolish ones are wise. Tell all who mourn: outcasts belong, who perishes will rise. 5 O for a world preparing for God’s glorious reign of peace, where time and tears will be no more, and all but love will cease.

Prelude Fugue in F-Major Welcome Hymn 833: O Love That Will Not Let Me Go 1 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; my heart restores its borrowed ray, that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day may brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain that morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be.

Prelude Hymn 339: Lift Every Voice and Sing 1 Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies; let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on, till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died. Yet, with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our parents sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; thou who hast by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee; lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.

Prelude “Sinfonietta” G. F. Handel Welcome Kristian Wright
Hymn 321: The Church’s One Foundation 1 The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord. She is his new creation by water and the word. From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride. With his own blood he bought her,and for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder this world sees her oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up: "How long?" And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore: till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally.

Hymn 310: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord 1 I love thy kingdom, Lord, the house of thine abode, the church our blest Redeemer saved with his own precious blood. 2 I love thy church, O God. Her walls before thee stand, dear as the apple of thine eye, and graven on thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall; for her my prayers ascend; to her my cares and toils be given, till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways: her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hymns of love and praise. 5 Sure as thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven.
Prayer of Confession God, you are everlasting, the creator of everything that is. Your understanding is beyond all measure. We confess to you that we have sinned against you and our neighbors.

Welcome Children of God, Our salvation comes from God and only God. Our souls wait for God in the silence of everything. God is our rock and our relief, our hope and healing. God is our mountain, and we won't ever be shaken.
Hymn 35: Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty 1 Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near; join me in glad adoration! 2 Praise ye the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth, shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth! Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been granted in what he ordaineth? 3 Praise ye the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him! Let the amen sound from his people again; gladly for aye we adore him.
Prayer of Confession Forgiving God, we know you call us, but we don't listen. We turn around and around and keep going the same old ways we've always gone. You show us new ways and untrampled paths, but we prefer what we know, what's familiar, what's easy, convenient. Forgive us. Heal us. Lead us back to you so we can show others the way. In Jesus' name we pray.

Prelude “Shall We Gather at the River?” J. Holstein Welcome Call To Worship In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The Spirit of God swept over the face of the waters; then God said: Let there be light, and God saw that it was good. At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus was baptized by John. The heavens opened, and the Spirit descended like a dove; then God said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Hymn 703: Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me
Prayer of Confession God of all glory, you look from heaven and see us as we are— not worthy to kneel at your feet, not ready to welcome your way. Forgive us, gracious God. In Christ, stoop down to save us; loosen the ties that bind us to sin and set us free to love and serve you; in Jesus’ name. Amen.
In this time of silence, hear the confessions of our hearts. Amen.

Prelude “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” arr. H. Hopson Welcome Rev. Sarah Logemann Call To Worship The Lord God is our shepherd Rev. Garrett Mostowski We are the people of God’s pasture, the sheep of God’s hand. God will seek the lost, feed the hungry, and strengthen the weak. But the proud and power-hungry will be fed with justice. We gather today to worship the Shepherd-King. Hymn 238: Thine is the Glory
1 Thine is the glory, risen, conquering Son; endless is the victory thou o'er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes where thy body lay.
Refrain: Thine is the glory, risen, conquering Son; endless is the victory thou o'er death hast won.
2 Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom. Let the church with gladness hymns of triumph sing, for the Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting. (Refrain) 3 No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life! Life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife. Make us more than conquerors through thy deathless love; bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above. (Refrain)
Prayer of Confession Rev. Sarah Logemann Sovereign God, we confess that we are not ready for your holy realm. You guide us toward right paths, but we refuse to follow where you lead. You love and feed and care for us, but we fail to love and serve others. Forgive us, merciful God, so that we may return to your fold and rejoice in your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. In this time of silence, hear the confessions of our hearts. Amen. Words of Forgiveness Gloria Patri A Time for the Child in All of Us Rev. Sarah Logemann Musical Offering “Lamb of God” T.

Hymn 260: Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
1 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus; his the scepter, his the throne; Alleluia! his the triumph, his the victory alone! Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: "Jesus out of every nation has redeemed us by his blood." 2 Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! he is near us; faith believes nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him, when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise: "I am with you evermore"? 3 Alleluia! Bread of angels, here on earth our food, our stay; Alleluia! here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, hear our plea where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest; here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast.

Prelude “Berceuse” Louis Vierne Welcome Rev. Sarah Logemann & Rev. Garrett Mostowski Call To Worship To all who need mercy, God says, “Come to me.” To all who are living in darkness, God says, “Come out!” To all who hunger and thirst, God rains food from heaven and bubbles up springs from the earth.. To all who have too much, God calls to give to those who have too little. Let us worship, knowing God will not forget us, we are written on the palms of God’s hands. Hymn 375: Shall We Gather at the River
1 Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God? Refrain: Yes, we’ll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river; gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God. 2 On the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray, we will walk and worship ever, all the happy golden day. (Refrain) 3 Ere we reach the shining river, lay we every burden down; grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and crown. (Refrain)
4 Soon we’ll reach the shining river; soon our pilgrimage will cease; soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace. (Refrain)
Prayer of Confession Rev. Garrett Mostowski Holy and Merciful God, you are our judge. You know the sins we hide from others: the unkind thoughts, the unspoken words of grace, the refusal to understand and empathize, the denial of mercy, the judgement. You alone know how we harbor jealousies and resentments; hoard resources; and hold prejudices, judging others. Forgive us, we pray. We seek your tender mercy, for you love us as a mother loves her little child. In this time of silence, hear the confessions of our hearts. Amen.

Hymn 353 My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
1 My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand; all other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness seems to hide his face, I rest on his unchanging grace; in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. (Refrain) 3 His oath, his covenant, his blood support me in the whelming flood; when all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. (Refrain)
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in him be found, dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. (Refrain)

Come, lift your hearts on high: Alleluia! Amen! Let praises fill the sky: Alleluia! Amen! He is our guide and friend; to us he'll condescend; his love shall never end: Alleluia! Amen! Praise yet our Christ again: Alleluia! Amen! Life shall not end the strain: Alleluia! Amen! On heaven's blissful shore his goodness we'll adore, singing forevermore: Alleluia! Amen!
Prayer of Confession God, forgive us. Our efforts to love you with heart, soul, mind, and strength often fall short. Our lack of trust in you hinders our ability to give ourselves completely to you. We imagine that only we can know what is best for us. Our mindset of meagerness keeps us from loving our neighbors and ourselves. In this time of silence, hear the confessions of our hearts. Amen.

Hymn 688 Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art, and make me love thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King; all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind? I see thy cross; there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh. Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh. Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame; the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
