Order of Worship

Welcome and Intimations
Call to Worship
We have started down a road that will take us to the cross.
It is a journey we take together, and a journey each makes alone.
We are invited to notice things on the way –
To notice the sharp stones, the uneven ground, the presence of friends and the presence of God

We carry little with us but that which is in our hearts:
Hope, trust, fear, apprehension, wonder, sorrow
On this walk we rest and sing and pray and listen.
In our worship, we rest and sing and pray and listen
Jesus is the beloved son of God,
With Jesus, we are beloved children of God as well.
