Epistle Gospel Romans 5:1-11, Common English Bible John 4:5-42, Common English Bible Message Collection of Tithes and Offerings God is always reaching out to the people, places, and parts of us that are weary from isolation or cast out by exclusion. God comes to lift up the lowly and make prophets of the dejected. With thanks for the subversive ways of love, let us bring what we have together. Offertory Chaconne in G Minor **Doxology Prayer of Dedication Holy One, your loyalty is not to social etiquette. Your love is not tethered to decency nor decorum. Wherever there is suffering in body or in spirit, you come alongside with companionship. No exceptions. For all the ways you show us such care when others don’t, we give you thanks. For the times you extend that care to those whom we deny, we bring our offerings with humble gratitude. Amen. Announcements & Prayer Requests Morning Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer The Great Thanksgiving Hymns O Food to Pilgrims Given All Who Hunger Prayer of Thanksgiving **Hymn Choral Benediction When Our Confidence My Tribute Benediction God meets us in the hard places. The territories of struggle. The sites of desperation. The places of deepest need. In our fears and our pain, God comes beside us. With a commitment to extending this care to one another and all our neighbors, so that none may be left alone, the Spirit sends us with peace. Postlude Holy Is the Lord arr.
