WE GATHER IN AWE AND PRAISE

PRELUDE

WELCOME Rev. Trip Porch

*INTROIT “Now the Silence” Carl F. Schalk

Now the silence Now the peace Now the empty hands uplifted

Now the kneeling Now the plea Now the Father’s arms in welcome

Now the hearing Now the power Now the vessel brimmed for pouring

Now the body Now the blood Now the joyful celebration

Now the wedding Now the songs Now the heart forgiven leaping

Now the Spirit’s visitation Now the Son’s epiphany

Now the Father’s blessing Now Now Now

Text: Jaroslav J. Vajda

*CALL TO WORSHIP

One: The Spirit comes to bless us all with a new song:

All: Let our joy be complete!

One: Gifts for the good of all are molded into every part of creation

All: Love is the fabric of this world.

One: Let all who’ve been shaped by God’s hand join in this new song of praise

All: Come, let us worship, making a joyful noise,

Rejoicing in the goodness of our maker…

HYMN No. 5 “God the Sculptor of the Mountains” JENNINGS-HOUSTON*

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION Michael Ayers

Creator of the universe, in this place we imagine that we are in familiar well-trod territory, that we know what to expect of this hour, that we will leave here the same way that we came and little will change. Surprise us, O God, with the new ways you are shaping our lives. Don’t allow us to stagnate in the comfortable routine, instead enlighten us with the new ways you are moving in this world and let us join you in creating the newness you bring to our world… In the silence may we remember the areas of our life that are in need of change… Silent prayers of confession are offered.

*ASSURANCE OF PARDON

All: And also with you.

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE Sharon Renkes

PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION

SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 18:1–11 CEB

Jeremiah received the Lord’s word: Go down to the potter’s house, and I’ll give you instructions about what to do there. So I went down to the potter’s house; he was working on the potter’s wheel. But the piece he was making was flawed while still in his hands, so the potter started on another, as seemed best to him. Then the Lord’s word came to me: House of Israel, can’t I deal with you like this potter, declares the Lord? Like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in mine, house of Israel! At any time I may announce that I will dig up, pull down, and destroy a nation or kingdom; but if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I’ll relent and not carry out the harm I intended for it. At the same time, I may announce that I will build and plant a nation or kingdom; but if that nation displeases and disobeys me, then I’ll relent and not carry out the good I intended for it. Now say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem: This is what the Lord says: I am a potter preparing a disaster for you; I’m working out a plan against you. So each one of you, turn from your evil ways; reform your ways and your actions.

Holy Wisdom, Holy Word

Thanks be to God
