One: Peace
be with you.
All: How good and pleasant it is when we live together in unity.
One: Receive
the Holy Spirit.
ALL: It is like precious oil on the head, the blessing of the Lord. Let us worship God!
* Opening Prayer
UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of Easter, in the risen Christ you broke the
power of
sin and evil. And yet we still live in the tombs of forget-
fulness, anxiety and fear. We have failed to love you
as we should. We have neglected to love our neighbor.
We have even failed to love ourselves.…silent prayers
of confession…Forgive us, Lord. Release us from
the tombs that terrify us, so that we can see your image
in one another and in your good creation. Free us from
the grave of self-hatred, so that we can see ourselves
as
your children. Amen
One: This is the word we have heard:
God forgives our sins and raises us to new life! This is the good news we declare: God leads
us out of the tombs of sin and self-hatred to walk as Easter people in the
light of Christ!
All: Thanks be to God; Amen!
* GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father, and
to the son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.
* PASSING THE
PEACE
All: Thanks be to God!
MESSAGE Rev.
Melissa Upchurch
New
life in Christ takes shape in a community in which people
know that God loves and accepts them in spite of what
they are. They therefore accept
themselves and love others,
knowing that no one has any ground on which to stand, except God’s grace. Amen.

MESSAGE Rev. Melissa Upchurch
* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

CALL TO CONFESSION
UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, you have set before us our greed, our hatred of self and others, and our apathy. You have also shown us the injustice and tyrannies of our public life. We have succumbed to paralyzing anxiety in response to injustice.
We have resisted the prompting of your Spirit who nudges us out of self-absorption. Forgive us, Lord. Empower us by your Spirit to be attentive and discerning partners in healing your creation. Amen.
* ASSURANCE OF PARDON
One:God’s healing mercy abounds! God’s grace goes before us, after us, and through us — sometimes even unbeknownst to us. Friends, hear the good of the gospel: We are forgiven and restored to right paths of justice and shalom.
All:Thanks be to God; Amen.

MESSAGERev. Melissa Upchurch
* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (fr. A Declaration of Faith – PC USA 1977)
We believe Christ gives us and demands of us personal lives that are centered in God and open to God’s reality and rule. Christ teaches us to put obedience to God above the interests of self, family, race, or nation; to offer God joyously our money, ability, and time. It is part of our daily discipline to observe a day of worship and rest, setting aside our own working to enjoy God’s work, celebrating with sisters and brothers the Lord’s goodness. We need constantly to search out God’s way in Scripture, not expecting detailed directions for every decision, but relying on the Word to tell us who God is, to press God’s present claim on us, and to assure us of God’s grace and comfort. We are charged to pray for ourselves and others with gratitude, boldness, and
persistence, confident that God hears and answers our prayers in ways best for us all. Life in God’s presence issues in life for others, for if we do not love sisters and brothers whom we see, we cannot love God whom we do not see.
