Jesus Is
Good News
Blessed be the holy Trinity,
one God,
who forgives all our sin,
whose mercy endures
forever.
Amen.
Confession
and
Forgiveness
God of forgiveness,
We confess that we are
stuck in sin.
We have tried to keep
your grace for
ourselves.
Have mercy on us.
God of forgiveness,
We have tried to hide
you in a sanctuary.
We have listened to
people saying your
mercy has limits.
Have mercy on us.
God of forgiveness,
We have felt like we
were more worthy to
receive your love than
others…
And we have watched
our sisters and brothers
made unwelcome in
your church.
Have mercy on us.
God of healing,
We know what kind of
pain we cause, because
we have been excluded,
too.
We have been in places
people say you have
abandoned.
We have believed your
mercy might not reach
us.
We have believed we
were unworthy of your
love.
And we have felt
unwelcome in the midst
of your people.
God of healing,
Make us whole.

I can change the world with my own

Make it a better place with my own
two hands
Make it a kinder place with my own
two hands
With my own, with my own two
hands
With my own, with my own two

I can make peace on earth, with my

I can clean up the earth, with my

I can reach out to you, with my own

With my own, with my own two

I'm going to make it a brighter place,

I'm going to make it a safer place,

I'm going to help the human race
with my own two hands
With my own, with my own two

With my own, with my own two

I can hold you with my own two

I can comfort you with my own two

Must Be
Must be that the world's gone blind
Must be that the world's gone blind
I can't believe that we could see
some things
And just go on with our lives
Well it must be that the world is
blind
Must be that the world's gone dumb
Must be that the world's gone dumb
I can't believe that we could sit so
silent
When we see what we might
become
Well it must be that the world is
dumb
Must be that the world's gone lame
Must be that the world's gone lame
I can't believe that we could sit so
still
While the furious fan the flames
Well it must be that the world is
lame
Must be that the world's been saved
Must be that the world's been saved
The blind will see the dumb will talk
The chains will fall and the lame will
walk
And the dead will rise from the grave
Well it must be that the world's been
saved
We Are Not Overcome
Flesh will fail, bones will break
Thieves will still, the earth will shake
Night will fall, the light will fade
The Lord will give and take away
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Put no trust in the earth
In the sod you stand upon
Flowers fade into dust,
The Lord will make a place for us
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Have no fear for your life;
Turn your cheek, turn your cheek
Bear the yolk of love and death;
The lord will give life and breath
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Because of His great love,
We are not overcome
Communion Prayer
Lord, you call us to build
bridges.
Give us feet to cross
over all that divides us.
You call us to bear burdens.
Give us strong backs to
carry all that weighs us
down.
You call us to break chains.
Give us hearts to love
all those chained in the
darkness.
You call us to bring hope.
Give us clear voices to
share your love with the
world.
Send us to share your love
in the world…and the work
we complete is yours.
Amen!

Rise up. We will walk together.
Rise up. We will stand together.
Rise up hand in hand together.
Rise up, oh, rise up.
Christ humbled himself upon
the cross.
For we all have needs.
And we all have loss.
We join together with Him.
Bringing hope to all God’s
children.
Rise up. We will walk together.
Rise up. We will stand together.
Rise up hand in hand together.
Rise up, oh, rise up.
The Spirit comes in the baptism
The Spirit breaths when we sing
the hymns.
The Spirit calls and sends us out.
The Spirit joins us as we shout.
Rise up. We will walk together.
Rise up. We will stand together.
Rise up hand in hand together.
Rise up, oh, rise up.
Rise up together!
Go in peace to build
bridges, bear burdens,
break chains,
and bring hope!
Thanks be to God!
Move to the communion
stations to receive a tattoo
as you exit.
