We have prepared a wheat wafer, a wafer that is potato based and a wafer that is made from garbanzo beans.

Opening Prayer
Children’s Reading – Louder!
Psalm 47:1 (NRSV)
1. Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with loud songs of joy.
Psalm 47:1 (The Message):
1.Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo!
Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs!
Today’s Readings
Our first reading comes from the Book of Hebrews, chapter seven, verses twenty-three through twenty-eight.
23 Furthermore, the former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
26 For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he has no need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; this he did once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
Our Gospel reading comes from the Gospel according to Mark, the tenth chapter, verses forty-six through fifty-two.
46 They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.” 50 So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” 52 Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
Word of God, word of life.
Thanks Be To God!
Sunday Message – “Restored Vision”, Pastor Matt Shapton
Share The Peace
Blessing The Elements
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
Verse 2
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen
Communion Song – “New Wine”
New Wine
Verse
In the crushing in the pressing
You are making new wine
In the soil I now surrender
You are breaking new ground
(You are breaking new ground)
Pre-Chorus
So I yield to You and to Your careful hand
When I trust You I don’t need to understand
Chorus
(So) Make me Your vessel
Make me an offering
Make me whatever You want me to be
(God) I came here with nothing
But all You have given me
Jesus bring new wine out of me
Tag
Jesus bring new wine out of me
Jesus bring new wine out of me
Bridge
‘Cause where there is new wine
There is new power
There is new freedom
And the kingdom is here
I lay down my old flames
To carry Your new fire today

Prayers of Intercession
*The community responds with the bold print.
Remembering the caring and generous works of God, we pray for the church, creation, and the needs of our neighbors.
A brief silence.
God who is gracious and merciful, teach your church to invite and welcome all. Lead us to be grateful for the blessing of community. Challenge your church to choose equity and compassion over judgment.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
God who sends the wind and the sun, you know every worm and bush by name. Help us remember that even the humblest parts of creation are precious to you. Show us how best to care for the earth and its creatures.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
God who is ready to relent from punishing, impart your compassionate wisdom to legislators, judges, members of the military, and law enforcement. Give them courage to serve their communities in times of uncertainty, stress, or exhaustion.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
God who saves, direct your people who are tempted by evil ways. Protect your children from calamity and disaster. Strengthen all who are incarcerated. Encourage all who are in despair or pain of any kind.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
God who is slow to anger, may we boast about the goodness of Jesus with the confidence of Paul in prison. Inspire us to find abundance in whatever vocation we are called to in the world and in service to our congregation.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
God who restores, guide us in the best ways to help those impacted by violence, storms, health crisis, discrimination, and hatred receive the Good News. We ask that you would help us be a reflection of Jesus Christ in the world, that we would lead with love.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
God who abounds in steadfast love, we give thanks for the saints called to the kingdom of heaven. United with them in spirit, hold us firm as we labor in this life and look to the life to come.
Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
Remember us according to your steadfast love as we offer these and the prayers of our heart, trusting in your compassion made known through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Sending Blessing
Closing Song – “Stand In Your Love”
Verse 1
When darkness tries to roll over my bones
When sorrow comes to steal the joy I know
When brokenness and pain is all I know
I won’t be shaken, I won’t be shaken
Chorus
‘Cause my fear doesn’t stand a chance when I
Stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance when I
Stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance when I
Stand in Your love
Verse 2
Shame no longer has a place to hide
I am not a captive to the lies
I’m not afraid to leave my past behind
Oh I won’t be shaken
No I won’t be shaken
Chorus
Bridge
There’s power that can break off ev’ry chain
There’s power that can empty ev’ry grave
There’s resurrection power that can save
There’s power in Your name
Power in Your name
Chorus X 2
Outro
Oh, I’m standing in Your love
Oh, I’m standing on the Rock
Oh, I’m standing, standing in Your love
