PRELUDE “Way Maker”

WELCOME

*CALL TO WORSHIP W/Gladys Archer Translating in Spanish

Today we gather around God’s table from near and far
We are the People of God!
Though we differ in language, custom, and tradition
We are brothers and sisters in Christ!
For there is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism
We are One in God’s Spirit!
We are one and together we remember our Lord Jesus
For we are the people of Redemption!
He gave himself up for us, so we could be reconciled to God.
Come, let us worship the God of our Salvation!

*SING TO THE LORD “Build My Life”

*THE LORD’S PRAYER (The Lord’s Prayer, “Notre Père,” in French) Translated by Sue Lyle

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux,
Que ton nom soit sanctifié,
Que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd’hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offences
Comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
mais délivre-nous du mal,
car c’est à toi qu’appartiennent le règne,
la puissance et la gloire, aux siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Prayers for Others & Ourselves
*Affirmation of our Faith – The Apostles’ Creed (below)

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
He descended into hades
The third day he rose again from the dead
He ascended into Heaven
And sitteth on 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 Christian Church
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.
