Words of Welcome Pastor Ginger Foster
Unison Call to Worship Glen Cleveland, Liturgist
Here we come to the table again, the holy table set for us unholy saints.
Here we come, the broken-hearted, the unemployed, the fearful ones,
the guilty ones,
the lonely, the anxious, the despairing, the grief-stricken.
Here we come, men and women, children and parents, poor and rich,
rolling and walking,
left and right, short and tall, every color and class imaginable.
Here we come, because we’re hungry, used up, worn down, tired out,
hung up,
cast off, stressed out, turned off, put down, lost!
Here we come. Amen.

Reading By Bishop William Willimon
Reflection on the Reading for private worship at home:
Why has Communion, especially the attempt to define Christ’s presence, been divisive? Our divisions are no more evident than at a table and the people you would eat with and wouldn’t eat with. We’re smart enough to know that eating is a very intimate activity. You take care whom you invite to dinner. Southern segregationists were smart enough to know they had to keep blacks away from lunch counters, because if you dare ask people to sit down with you, even at a lunch counter, you’ve got to admit they’re human beings. We also know that barriers are most readily broken at the table. The meal is an intimate, communal, uniting experience, and it’s also a risky, scary time when we try to erect boundaries. For Christians, it ought to be a sign of unity. It is a tragedy that of all things this should be a mark of division.

Holy Communion - Invitation
Confession and Pardon – Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have taken your love for granted. We have not done your will, and we have broken your law. We confess sins of which we are not truly repentant, and we make promises we will not keep. We have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Benediction Glen Cleveland, Liturgist
Here we are, eating again, without credentials, without money,
without vouchers or coupons, just because you say we belong.
Thanks!
Here we go, full, from the table again, still unholy saints, but saints
again alive, renewed in compassion and hope, taking bread with us for
those not yet at the table.
Amen.

Fellowship Time
God wants us to love one another. How can we change today's world into God's world? Understanding you and how we got there is the first key to opening the door to end racisim.
