Prelude
Words of Welcome
Call to Worship
L: Who is my mother and who are my brothers and sisters? Look around you, and you will see them. They are not always the people you grew up with. They are the people who have joined the journey to learn more about God and the ways of God’s people.
P: They are the people who abandon houses and land, fame, and fortune -- for the sake of the gospel.
L: They are the people who pray through the night for the safety of someone else’s child or for the healing of someone else’s loved one.
P: They are the ones who offer a cold cup of water to people considered outcast. They do so in the name of Christ.
L: Who are my brothers? Who are my sisters? Where is my family?
P: Jesus said that: Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother (Mark 3:35, NRSV).
L: Welcome to worship, family!
All: We gather to worship the God who has made us kin!

Opening Prayer
Holy God thank you for gathering us this day for worship. Thank you for calling us brother and sister, one family in your name. As we worship may we be drawn closer to you and one another so that we may go into the world in the strength of your spirit to serve our brothers and sisters. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit we pray. Amen.
*Hymn Fairest Lord Jesus UMH #189
*The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of Heaven and Earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Time With Children

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
