PRELUDE
Come Sunday | Duke Ellington Charles Manning, Piano Siyahamba | arr. Robert Ward Wesleyan Ringers; Jeff Nearpass, Percussion; Barbara Hobbs, Director
WELCOME & RESPONSIVE CALL TO WORSHIP Rev. Kim King Leader: Throughout God’s world this day Christian churches are celebrating communion as one family dining together in one room under one roof. People: Our sisters and brothers in Africa, Europe, Central America, Asia and in all lands and countries join us in lifting the bread of life and the cup of salvation. Leader: No power or ruler shall stop us nor deter our purpose, our sense of mission, or our challenge to go forth as disciples into every town, village, and crossroad proclaiming the love of Christ for all creation. People: In Christ’s love there is no East, no West, no North, no South, but only one Spirit of hope, love and peace for all. Leader: Let us praise Christ! May this holy meal empower each of us to be agents of hope and peace in a time of uncertainty and strife. People: The bread and juice are not for us alone, but are symbols of a universal message that surpasses the might of missiles and the walls of oppression. Leader: May Christ bless the worldwide communion of the church this day! People: Praise be to Christ our Creator, Redeemer and Savior! Amen.
