SHORT NORTH 11.1.26

Call to worship

Congregation: All glorious God, we give you thanks:
in your Son, Jesus Christ,
you have given us every spiritual blessing
in the heavenly realms.
You chose us, before the world was made,
to be your holy people, without fault in your sight.
You adopted us as your children in Christ.
You have set us free by his blood;
you have forgiven our sins.
You have made known to us your secret purpose,
to bring heaven and earth into unity in Christ.
You have given us your Holy Spirit,
the seal and pledge of our inheritance.
All praise and glory be yours, O God,
for the richness of your grace,
for the splendor of your gifts,
for the wonder of your love.
— based on Ephesians 1:3-18

COMMITMENT

Congregation: God of our lives
by the power of your Holy Spirit
we have been drawn together by one baptism into one faith,
serving one Lord and Savior.
Do not let us tear away from one another
through division or hard argument.
May your peace embrace our differences,
preserving us in unity,
as one body of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

—The Book of Common Worship

BENEDICTION

Leader: Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice in the grace of God. As you go, aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and grace will be with you always. Peace be with you.

Congregation: and also with you.
