CALL TO WORSHIP
:
Throughout the ages, disciples have said,
"I will follow you wherever you go."
Lord, give us the freedom to follow you in the ways of love.
Who in your life would you follow without turning back?
Lord, give us the strength to follow you in the ways of peace.
Who's spirit would you want a double portion of?
Lord, give us the opportunity to follow you in the ways of kindness.
Today, we celebrate the Holy Spirit,
who shows us the joy of following God.
Lord, give us the patience to follow you in the ways of faith. Amen.
"O CANADA"

ANTHEM
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
*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.
