GATHERING: All are welcome in this space as we enjoy God’s creation and find renewal.
SONGS OF PRAISE:
OPENING PRAYER: Lamentations 3: 21-26
LEADER: Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: God’s compassions never fail.
PEOPLE: They are new every morning. Great is God’s faithfulness.
LEADER: I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.
PEOPLE: It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 16:13-20
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist but others Elijah and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
MESSAGE & PRAYER: Who Are You? Pastor Juliann
HOLY COMMUNION: All are Welcome to Receive the Sacrament. Christ meets us in love.
