Worship Service - March 22nd, 2020

Greeting
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.

Song - You Are Mine ELW 581
"I will come to you in the silence,
I will lift you from all your fear.
You will hear my voice,
I claim you as my choice.
Be still and know I am here."

"Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me,
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine."

"I am strength for all the despairing,
healing for the ones who dwell in shame.
All the blind will see,
the lame will all run free,
and all will know my name."

"Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me,
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine."

Lectio (from pray-as-you-go.org)
For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light— for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, ‘Sleeper, awake!
  Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’

Song - Christ, Be Our Light ELW 715
Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow'r to save us.
Make us your living voice.

Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.

Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
signs of your kingdom come.

Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.
Prayers
There will be time during the prayer for your individual intercessions. Please type them in the comments, if you wish.
Song - Lead me, guide me ELW 768
Lead me, guide me,
along the way;
for if you lead me,
I cannot stray.
Lord, let me walk
each day with thee.
Lead me, O Lord,
lead me.
I am weak and I need they strength and pow'r
to help me over my weakest hour.
Help me through the darkness they face to see.
Lead me, O Lord, lead me.

Lead me, guide me,
along the way;
for if you lead me,
I cannot stray.
Lord, let me walk
each day with thee.
Lead me, O Lord,
lead me.

Closing - A song will play after the service to allow you time to reflect.
