CALL TO WORSHIP
:
God, we want you near in your son Jesus,
But so often, we fail to see him.
He stands among us, offering the Spirit and peace,
Giving us life in his name.
But we are like Thomas, and need proof of him.
This morning we seek you out, Help us to be in relationship with you, To see you in the ordinary, To notice your presence, And believe.
PASSING OF THE PEACE-
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God, and the Fellowship
of the holy spirit be with you…
And also with you
As you are able and comfortable, let us make peace with one another.

CREED
:
We are not alone,
we live in God's world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God's presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.
