*Call to Worship Rev. Amy L. Lewis
Come, all you whose souls thirst for the living God.
We come in search of help and hope.
Come, you who are acquainted with grief or oppression.
We come bearing our doubts, our wounds, and our fears.
Come, you who are in need of good news.
We come in search of joy, truth, and light.
Come and find refuge in God your rock.
Let us again praise the One who is our help and our hope.
*Hymn of Praise # 502 Dear God, Embracing Humankind RESTPrayer Of Invocation And The Lord’s Prayer
O God, you come to us not in the chaos of the whirlwind, not in the roar of the earthquake, not in the crackling heat of the fire, but in the sound of sheer silence. Quiet our minds, bring peace to our hearts and stillness to our bodies that we might meet you in that silence. Help us to listen for your still, small voice. Give us the courage to go wherever you lead us, trusting that you will prepare the way. We pray this in the name of our Companion on the journey, Jesus the Christ. Holy God, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.Scripture I Kings 19:1-15a Brian Frye

There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing it’s worth;

*Hymn of Going Forth (Insert) Martin Nystrom
As the Deer Pants for the WaterBenediction
Go forth into the world with hope,
for no chain can bind and no tomb can contain
the healing life Christ offers each of us.
Go and make room for quiet, still places amidst the chaos of everyday life,
for there we will find God.
Go and dare to proclaim all that God has done for you,
for there are many who need our good news.
Go, knowing that the light of God shall lead you,
the presence of Christ shall guide you,
and the power of the Holy Spirit shall uphold you,
this day and always. Amen.Postlude I Love You, Lord Laurie Klein
