OPENING
PRAYER
God
of life, as a baptized and baptizing community,
we
gather to worship, to grow in discipleship, to share the faith story.
God
of community, we gather this morning,
as
part of a global family, united in faith, diverse in practice.
God
of transformation, as we sing and pray and listen,
open
our souls that we would know your presence, open our hearts to follow
where you lead.
This
we pray in the name of Jesus, who invites us to join the community,
who teaches us to pray saying..
COMMISSIONING:
As
a baptized and baptizing community,
we
have welcomed another Beloved child into God’s global family.
As
people who have heard Jesus’ invitation to join him,
we
take up the challenge to follow the Way, to grow as disciples.
As
part of a faith family that spans the globe,
we
work with our brothers and sisters of many traditions to build the
Kingdom.
Go
with God: Father, Son and Spirit, Lover, Beloved, and Love, who is
Creating, Redeeming and Sustaining.
Amen.
