GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 139:1-6 O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it. *HYMN 442

Kinley Lange

Where two or three are gathered in my name, there will I be also.

-Matthew 18:19-20 PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION (unison) God of grace, you renew us at your table with the bread of life and the cup of salvation. May this food strengthen us in love and help us to serve you. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen. PASSING THE PEACE The Peace of Christ be with you. And also with you. *HYMN 535 *CHARGE AND BENEDICTION *LENTEN RESPONSE 363 *POSTLUDE *Those who are able, please stand.
