Prelude
Welcome May you
experience the love of our good Shepherd, Jesus, and share it with others
throughout the week.
Choral Opening: Be still, for the
presence of the Lord, the Holy One, is here. Come bow before him now, with
reverence and fear. In him no sin is found; we stand on holy ground. Be still
for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here.
Be
still for the power of the Lord is moving in this place. He comes to cleanse
and heal, to minister his grace. No work to hard for him; in faith receive from
him. Be still for the power of the Lord is moving in this place.
Call to worship: Our Good Shepherd calls us into the safekeeping of the fold. We will
dwell in the house of the Lord forever. We will lift our arms in praise. We
will worship God’s holy name!
Opening Prayer: Dearest Lord. Be Thou a bright flame before us. Be Thou a guiding star above us. Be Thou a smooth path beneath us. Be Thou a kindly shepherd behind us. Today and evermore. Amen~ excerpted and altered
from a longer prayer by St. Columba.
Opening Hymn #138 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
Young Disciples
Call to confession God is here. Let us confess our sufferings, our losses, our pain, our
sins. Join me, as we pray together, saying,
Prayer of Confession
Lord,
we are really feeling the pressure of being locked inside the gates of our
home. We are ready to break through and get beyond the barriers set upon us. We
are tired, lonely, and frustrated. We are running out of resources, out of
energy, out of patience. Forgive us God. Remind us there is no gate to hold us,
but yours to set us free. Release us from all that pens us in. Refresh us by
the power of your presence. In Jesus name. Amen.
Words of Assurance: Friends, believe the good
news of the gospel, in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Amen!
Gloria Patri #579
Glory
be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the
beginning, is now and ever shall be; world without end, amen. Amen.
Affirmation of Faith
Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of
heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord; who was conceived
by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, dead and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again
from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God
the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church; the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life
everlasting. Amen.
Readings:
Psalm 23; John 10:1-11
Sermon: Jesus is Our Gate.

and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory, forever. Amen
