Centering Practice
Deep breath of gratitude
- Hold a symbol of love for yourself as we hear from Psalm 36
- Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
Call to Worship/Creed
The Lord our God is in our midst.
God is a mighty Savior.
The Lord delights in us with gladness!
With renewing love,
God will calm all our fears.
The Lord rejoices over us with joyful songs!
Amen.
Worship Songs
The Love of the Father
Lift up your voices
and lift up your praise
Join with the heavens
declaring the wonders of
His faithfulness forever
Sing of the victory
the hope of the world
The Savior has risen
the Spirit has come to bring
us into love forever
We are the people of God
With the freedom of hope in our hearts
How great is the love of the Father
Lifted from darkness
and into the light
The sons and the daughters
are loved at a price
Our God has made us His forever
This is the song of the redeemed
The ransomed and the free
Given life at such a price
This is love, this is love
And when the Father calls us home
And we see Him on the throne
Hear the voices sing as one
This is love, this is love
Build My Life
Worthy of every song
we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise
we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath
we could ever breathe
We live for You
Jesus, the Name
above every other name
Jesus, the only One
who could ever save
Worthy of every breath
we could ever breathe
We live for You, oh we live for You
Holy, there is no one like You
There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
And show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love
to those around me
And I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
And I will put my trust in You alone
and I will not be shaken
Community Prayer
God of creation,
You fill the world with signs of Your love;
All creation sings Your praise.

Hear our prayer, O Lord.
We rejoice in Your love
and praise Your holy name. Amen.

Passing of the Peace
Family Song
Stand Together
Hey! (repeat)
We will trust, trust in God alone
We will stand, stand upon his word
And whatever comes our way
We are strong, and we are brave
His truth, truth will be our guide
Through the day, and the darkest night
Our God will give us strength
We are strong, and we are brave and we will
Stand together, stand forever
We will stand strong
Standing up for God each day
We will stand strong
Blessing of the Children

Filled with wonder for this day.

Worship Song
Open Space / Hosanna
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 Your
Everything I am
for Your Kingdom’s cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
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 offences
or wrongs in my mind
Make me like Jesus
Make me like Jesus
You’re faithful to find me
Right where I am
Though 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
My heart is an open space
for You to come and have Your way
I’m open, I’m open
