*Opening Hymn

Welcome

Laurie Zelman and Mark A. Miller

1 Let's walk together for a while
and ask where we begin
to build a world where love can grow
and hope can enter in,
to be the hands of healing
and to plant the seed of peace,
singing welcome, welcome to this place.
You're invited to come and know God's grace.
All are welcome the love God to share
'cause all of us are welcome here;
all are welcome in this place.

2 Let's talk together of a time
when we will share a feast,
where pride and power kneel to serve
the lonely and the least,
and joy will set the table
as we join our hands to pray,
singing welcome, welcome to this place.
You're invited to come and know God's grace.
All are welcome the love God to share
'cause all of us are welcome here;
all are welcome in this place.

3 Let's dream together of the day
when earth and heaven are one,
a city built of love and light,
the new Jerusalem,
where our mourning turns to dancing,
every creature lifts its voice,
crying welcome, welcome to this place.
You're invited to come and know God's grace.
All are welcome the love God to share
'cause all of us are welcome here;
all are welcome in this place.

Jesus Loves the Little Children

All the children of the world.

They are precious in His sight -
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Prayer Response - Psalm 23 (KJV)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen.

Christ Has Broken Down the Wall

Mark A. Miller

1 Christ has broken down the wall,
Christ has broken down the wall.
Let us join our hearts as one,
Christ has broken down the wall.

2 We're accepted as we are,
we're accepted as we are.
Through God's love all is reconciled,
we're accepted as we are.

3 Cast aside your doubts and fears,
cast aside your doubts and fears.
Peace and love, freely offered here,
cast aside your doubts and fears.

4 We will tear down the walls!
We will tear down every wall!
God has called us, one and all;
Christ has broken down the wall!

Word of God, Speak

Pete Kipley and Bart Millard

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say.

Chorus

Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest,
In Your holiness.
Word of God speak.

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet I hear Your voice.

Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest,
In Your holiness.

(Repeat Chorus)

Word of God speak.

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay.

*Closing Hymn

In Christ There Is No East or West

John Oxenham and Alexander Robert Reinagle

1 In Christ there is no east or west,
in him no south or north;
but one great fellowship of love
throughout the whole wide earth.

2 In Christ shall true hearts everywhere
their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close binding humankind.

3 In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek,
and neither slave nor free;
both male and female heirs are made,
and all are kin to me.

4 In Christ now meet both east and west,
in him meet south and north;
all Christly souls are one in him
throughout the whole wide earth.
