Time of the Church 6

We Gather in God's Name

Call to Worship: The Bells of Taize

<mp3>http://www.taize.fr/IMG/mp3/bells.mp3</mp3>

Opening Song: Wait for the Lord

<mp3>http://mrlocke.net/files/WaitfortheLord.mp3 </mp3>


Wait for the Lord, whose day is near
Wait for the Lord, keep watch, take heart!

We Hear God's Word

from Psalm 34

I will bless the Lord at all times,
God’s praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.

Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise God’s name.
I sought the Lord and was heard;
from all my terrors set free.

Look towards God and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
When the poor cry out the Lord hears them
and rescues them from all their distress.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
They are happy who seek refuge in God.


Song: Stay With Me

Stay with me
remain here with me. 
Watch and pray, 
watch and pray. 


Matthew 13:44-46

Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.”


We Respond in Prayer

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession

Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.


A Time of Silence

This time is the heart of the Taize service -- please use it to meditate or reflect silently on all the prayers that have been voiced, as well as those that remain unvoiced.


The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.


We Go in Peace

Closing Song: The Kingdom of God

<mp3>http://mrlocke.net/files/TheKingdomofGod.mp3</mp3>


The Kingdom of God is justice and peace
And joy in the holy spirit
Come, Lord, and open in us
The gates of your kingdom.

Passing of the Peace
