We are wary of those who are different. Please forgive us when we keep ourselves in our own bubble and miss out on the blessings others can bring into our lives. Help us see every person as a fellow creation, someone we should cherish like a brother or sister, all in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Anthem - “At the Table of the Lord” Althouse Offering and Prayer Doxology Communion Affirmation of Faith We believe in one holy, universal Christian church, the unity of the communion of saints of the entire human family. And we believe that this unity of the people of God must be manifest and active, in that we love one another; that we give ourselves willingly and joyfully to one another, that we all share one baptism, that we eat of one bread and drink of one cup, that we confess one name, one Lord, for one cause, with one hope, which is the height and the breadth and the depth and the love of Christ, forever and ever. Amen. Closing Hymn - “This is My Song” Benediction Postlude
