Swagatam, Tansi, Welcome:
As we join together in worship we acknowledge that we live on Turtle island, land that creator brought out of the waters so all could have life. Turtle island is the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Metis Nation.

Welcome and Announcement
Singing: VU562 Jesus Calls Us (verses 1,2,4)
- Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult
Of our life’s wild restless sea,
Day by day his clear voice sounding,
Saying, “Christian, follow me.”
- Long ago apostles heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for Jesus’ sake.
- In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
“Christian, love me more than these.”
Call to Worship
One: Praise God!
God is eternally with us,
and worthy of our praise.
All: Praise God!
One: God, the author of change for good,
cares for the vulnerable,
brings friendship to the lonely,
creates freedom for the restricted,
and is hope for the poor and despairing.
All: Praise God!
One: God is universal, God is powerful, God is empowering;
therefore, with hearts and minds and spirits, we will praise God!
Singing: MV62 There Is Room for All
There is room for all in the shadow of God’s wing;
There is room for all, sheltered in God’s love.
And I rejoice and sing,
“My refuge and my rock in whom I trust.”
There is room for all, there is room for all.

Children’s Time: Now You See Me, Now You Don’t (Interview with Isaac Harrison)
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,
for ever and ever. Amen.
‘हे हाम्रा पिता, जो स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ,
तपाईंको नाउँ पवित्र होस्।
तपाईंको राज्य आओस्।
तपाईंको इच्छा स्वर्गमा जस्तो छ,
त्यस्तै यस पृथ्वीमा पूरा होस्।
हामीलाई आज हाम्रो दैनिक भोजन दिनुहोस्।
हाम्रा अपराधहरू क्षमा गर्नुहोस्,
जसरी हामीले आफ्ना अपराधीहरूलाई क्षमा गरेका छौं।
हामीलाई परीक्षामा पर्न नदिनुहोस्,
तर दुष्टबाट छुटाउनुहोस्
किनभने राज्य, पराक्रम र महिमा
सदासर्वदा तपाईंकै हुन्, आमेन।’
Singing: VU368 Holy Spirit, Love Divine (verses 1-3)
- Holy Spirit, truth divine,
Dawn upon this soul of mine.
Voice of God and inward light,
Wake my Spirit, clear my sight.
- Holy Spirit, love divine,
Glow within this heart of mine.
Kindle every high desire,
Purify me with your fire.
- Holy Spirit, power divine,
Fill and nerve this will of mine.
Boldly may I always live,
bravely serve, and gladly give.
