“It is easy to be discouraged and overwhelmed
by the many problems in our society,
to be demoralized by the inequities, adversities,
and trauma that are all too pervasive in the world.
But if you study history, you will recognize
that the overall trajectory for humankind is positive…
We can make our world a safer, more just, and humane place for all.” Dr. Bruce Perry

PREPARATION AND PRAISE
GREETING and ANNOUNCEMENTS GATHERING PRAISE SONG
PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today.
OPENING PRAYER: 2
O Supreme Lord of the Universe,
you fill and sustain everything around us.
With the touch of your hand you turned chaos into order, darkness into light.
Unknown energies you hid in the heart of matter. From you burst forth the splendor of the sun
and the mild radiance of the moon.
Stars and planets without number you set in ordered movement, You are the source of the fire’s heat and the wind’s might,
of the water’s coolness and the earth’s stability.
Deep and wonderful are the mysteries of your creation. Amen.
CHILDREN’S MESSAGE
Let us welcome the children: “Jesus Loves Me”. “Jesus loves me! This I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but he is strong. Yes! Jesus loves me, Yes! Jesus loves me. Yes! Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so”.
JOYS AND CONCERNS
PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
