 Prelude | Sharon Cooper

 *Call to Worship | Sara Amend
We gather to worship together,
Different people, different lives, different histories,
Yet all children of the same Parent,
Created lovingly by the Source of all life!
We gather to reconnect with one another,
Different people, different lives, different histories,
Yet all disciples of one Teacher.
Jesus, the Word made flesh, dwelling among us.
We gather with different joys and sorrows, different hopes and fears…
Different people, different lives, different histories,
Yet one people with one God, one faith, one baptism.
Let us open ourselves to the presence of God at work in us, among us, and through us.

Postlude

 You’re invited to say hello after worship and enjoy coffee and snacks. Take a left and then a right as you leave the sanctuary to enter Herrmann Hall. Please keep your name tag on so we can learn and remember each other’s names and pronouns.

Community Notes

Children + Youth: During the summer months, children and youth are invited to stay in worship and participate in ways that feel good. There’s coloring and fidgets in the back of the room. You’re welcome to watch the service from a TV in Herrmann Hall if a child or teen needs more space to move around! 

Connect: When and if you feel ready to explore more, we’d love to hear more of your story and help you find a place to make friends and grow in faith. Contact Rev. Karen!
