As you travel to be fully physically, spiritually and mentally present with others in a different place and circumstance as yourself, you express a love of God with your whole self. As you learn and grow from the experience, your neigh-bor’s life becomes entwined with yours. It is a love by God that will not let us go.

Team: We go to be present with one another and with those who host us. People: Love God. Love Neighbor. Team: We go to make a change for good in our own lives and in the lives of others. People: Love God. Love Neighbor. Team: We go to experience God in new and powerful ways. People: Love God. Love Neighbor. Team: We go so we can come back, empowered to work for a just world for all.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his 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. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again 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. +GLORIA PATRI Lesser Doxology 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. PRAYER OF CONFESSION (please be seated) God of mercy, your love has never been far from us. Even when we turn our backs on people in need, when we seek our own comfort and neglect opportunities to help others, when we, by our thoughts and actions, betray you, you always are with us. Forgive us for all those acts of cowardice and self-centeredness that have drawn us away from you. Heal our spirits and rebuild our lives. You have placed us in a global community in which illness, oppression, greed, fear and anger abound. You ask us to proclaim your words of hope and love, of healing mercy for all your people. Place us again on the path of peace for all your children. For we ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. WORDS OF ASSURANCE Hear the good news, friends! While we wandered in fear, God was with us, offering us hope and courage. God is with you this day, this very minute, lifting you from despair to hope. This is the good news! God is always with us. Amen. COLLECT Jennifer Wills Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration

Hallelujah! Bread of heaven,Thou on earth our food, our stay; Hallelujah! here the hungry Come to Thee from day to day. Advocate and Intercessor, My Redeemer pleads for me, On the throne of the AlmightyNow and to eternity. 4. Hallelujah! sing to Jesus,His the scepter, His the throne; Hallelujah! His the triumph, His the victory alone. Hark, the songs of His redeemed ones Thunder like a mighty flood: Jesus out of every nation, Hath redeemed us by His blood.
