Worship Through Song Opening Hymn Hymn #500 "God Made From One Blood" (St. Denio)CCLI Song #1991392, Words: Troeger, c. 1994 Oxford University Press
1. God made from one blood all the families of earth, The circles of nurture that raised us from birth, Companions who join us to walk through each stage Of childhood and youth and adulthood and age.
2.
We turn to You, God,
with our thanks and our tears, For all of the families we've known through the years, The intimate networks on whom we depend, Of parent and partner and roommate and friend.
5.
Then widen that wisdom and grace to include
The races and viewpoints our families exclude Till peace in each home bears and nurtures the bud Of peace shared by all You have made from one blood.
Scripture Response
Hymn #56. "For the Beauty of the Earth" (Dix)
4.
For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild. Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
Communion Hymn #714. "For the Fruit of All Creation" (Ar Hyd Y Nos) CCLI Song #1871251 Green, harm. Emerson, words c. 1970 Hope Pub. Co.
For the fruit of all creation thanks be to God. For His gifts to every nation, thanks be to God. For the plowing, sowing, reaping, silent growth while we are sleeping, Future needs in earth's safekeeping, thanks be to God.
In the just reward of labor, God's will is done. In the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done. In our worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, In the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done.

Your generosity helps us to continue our outreach into the community. Your support allows us to help people in need of money for food, rent, and utilities. It also allows us to provide space for the Girl Scouts and other community groups. It is only through your donations that we can continue the work begun by Jesus. Thank You.
GIVING THANKS
We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one Body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.
Out of our call to “do justice” (Micah 6:8), we strive to demonstrate the fullness of God’s shalom through living out our faith by caring for God’s creation. . Setting a place at the table for persons of all gender expressions and sexual orientations.
We are committed to being a ProReconciling/Anti-Racist Ministry. We seek to deepen our understanding of systemic racism, as Christ compels us to advocate for justice, fairness and equality within our world.
