Centering Practice
Stand up together • Lean left, lean right, feel centered on your feet
We wait patiently for the Lord,
who sets our feet on solid rock
and gives us a firm place to stand.
Call to Worship/Creed
In life and in death we belong to God.
Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
we trust in the one triune God,
the Holy One of Israel,
whom alone we worship and serve.
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.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Worship Songs
Oh Our Lord
We behold the breaking dawn
The light that shines over everyone
We look to You
We long for You
Oh Lord
We behold the rising sun
The Earth awaits, Your hope has come
We look to You
We long for You
Oh Lord
Oh oh oh our Lord
Oh oh oh our Lord
How majestic is Your name in all the Earth
We behold the falling rain
Like waters rise, flood this place
We reach for You
We cling to You
Oh Lord
Oh, Your name is a light in the darkness
Oh, Your name is the word of truth
Oh, Your name
Oh, Your name
You Keep On Getting Better
I will sing of Your goodness
I will sing of Your love
Though the seasons come quickly
You have always been enough
Though the night may get darker
Though the waiting seems long
You have always been faithful
To remind me of Your love
You are good
In the morning I’ll sing
You are good
In the evening I’ll sing
You are good
You are good to me
You have always been patient
You have always been kind
You’re consistent through the ages
Oh, what a friend of mine
So I’ll remind my soul to bless You
Standing firm upon Your truth
Knowing You cannot be shaken
‘Cause I’ve seen what You can do, oh
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
Community Prayer
Find a triad and pray for each other & the world
Communion
Open Space
Pull me in closer, close to Your heart
May I be a pure reflection of all You are
Love that is patient, love that is kind
And love that keeps no offenses or wrongs in my mind
Make me like Jesus
Make me like Jesus
My heart is an open space
For You to come and have Your way
I’m open, I’m open
You’re faithful to find me, right where I am
Oh, even in my wandering, You call me friend
And mercy receives me and lifts me to my feet
And I’m caught up in the wonder and mystery
Of knowing Jesus
Of knowing Jesus
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am is for Your kingdom’s cause
Show me how to love like You have loved me

Scripture Reading
Psalm 86:1-12
1 Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; 3 have mercy on me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
for I put my trust in you.
5 You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy.
7 When I am in distress, I call to you,
because you answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.

Worship Song
You Hold It All Together
You come at the right time
When I least expect it
Never behind
So why would I be surprised
When You deliver every time
On mountaintops, You stay the same
In valleys low, You never change
And I believe that I will see
The goodness of the Lord
I’m confident as seasons change
Your faithfulness remains
God of my present
God of my future
You write my story
You hold it all together
