Today’s Meditation Verse: “Don’t be in debt to anyone, except for the obligation to love each other.”  —Romans 13:8a

Welcome... Pastor Charles

Prelude... Hyeji Park / “We Gather Together,"     by Bonnie Heidenreich

*Call to Worship (Psalm 149:1-4, The Inclusive Bible)...Rebecca Glancy

Sing to God a new song, sing praises in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their God. Let them praise God’s Name with festive dance; let them sing praise with timbrel and harp. For the LORD loves the people and crowns the lowly with salvation.

*Hymn...“Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” (UMH #89)

Prayer of John Chrysotom (UMH #412)...Rebecca Glancy

Almighty God, You have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to You; and You have promised through Your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered    together in His name, You will be in the midst of them. Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of our truth, and in the age to come life everlasting.   Amen.
