THE DOPING OF JESUS

Rev. Fritz Aufdencamp

Worship Assistant: Shirley Bloomquist

Prelude:  Change the

World (T. Sims, G. Kennedy

& W. Kirkpatrick)

Call to Worship: Some People Say That Jesus Is The Light Of The World

(Leader) Some people say that Jesus is the light of the world. We all can be the light of the world if we seek to act in ways that enlarge the realms of love and justice.

When we share another's pain or offer a comforting ear to a friend in need,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we give bread to the hungry or support ways to house the homeless,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we fight temptations to wrongdoing within ourselves and treat our neighbors with respect,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we try to overcome differences with understanding and solve conflict with peaceful means,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we look for the good in other people and in ourselves,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we do not stay quiet in the face of prejudice, but speak our minds firmly and gently,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we fight despair within ourselves and side with hope,

(All) We are the light of the world.

When we use our powers justly and in the service of love for humanity,

(All) We are the light of the world.

We are the light of the world! Amen.

Lighting the Chalice Flame: Come, Come, Whoever You Are

Come, come, whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.

Affirmation: Love is the spirit of this Congregation and service is its law. This is our great covenant to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love and to help one another.

Hymn: #100 Peace Like A River

Social Justice Minute:  P.E.A.C.E. Commissioning

Moment of Silence & Candle Lighting

Religious Education Class: Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.

Offertory: Shades of Gray (B. Bennett)

Sermon: The Doping of Jesus, Rev. Fritz Aufdencamp

Hymn: Building A New Way

We are building a new way, (x3)

Feeling stronger ev’ry day,
We are building a new way.

We are working to be free, (x3)
Hate and greed and jealousy.
We are working to be free.

We can feed our every need. (x3)
Start with love, that is the seed.
We can feed our every need.

Peace and freedom is our cry. (x3)
Without these this world will die.
Peace and freedom is our cry.

Extinguishing the Chalice Flame:

We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.    

Postlude: Corner of the Sky (S. Schwartz)
