INTROIT:  Together We Rise! (Tuko Pamoja) by Victor C. Johnson

We are many voices rising like the sun.  Calling for a world where love will overcome.  Different paths, but sharing one common light, moving as one toward higher heights!  Tuko Pamoja, we stand together.  Tuna Imani, we walk in faith.  One world, one hope, one song.  We have braved the silence, we have heard the cries.  Still we walk with purpose, we lift our voices high!  No one left in shadows, everyone belongs, every soul a story, every cry a song.  We rise together!  Tuko Pamoja!  United forever!

Lord of mercy, Lord of grace, make this church a welcome place.  To the hungry and the poor, may there be an open door.  To the weary and distressed, may this be a place of rest.  Lord of mercy, Lord of grace, make this church a welcome place.  Reaching out to others, serving both great and small, sharing our abundance with one and all.  Lord of mercy, Lord of grace, make this church a holy place, where we come to seek the truth; fill our hearts and worship you in our words and through our deeds, knowing you will meet our needs.  Lord of mercy, Lord of grace, make this church a welcome place.  Amen.

CHORAL RESPONSE:   Commonwealth is God’s Commandment by Restoration/William Walker

Sharing lavish gifts and blessings, love that not one mite withholds, stretch out arms to friends and strangers; God has sheep of many folds.  Plead for the peace of all creation.  Pray for a place where grace is found.  Shanti, pax, shalom, maslaha: common good is holy ground. [Mary Louise Bringle]
