Pick Ups

Welcome

Life and Work of the Church

Passing the Peace

Lighting the Christ Candles 

Hymn:  MV# 145 "Draw the Circle Wide"

Call to Worship:

Like geese moving north with the coming of spring,

We come to you, O God.

Like flowers springing out of cold earth,

We come to you O God.

Like campers running to the dining hall when the bells ring,

We come to you O God.

But our path is not always straight, and we don't always stick together.

Help us to change our ways.

We wither when things get hot.

Help us to change our ways.

We may forget to give you thanks for everything you provide.  Help us to change our ways.

Amen
