ANTHEM “The Gift of Love” Joshua Ian Elder

Composed for the occasion of the Consecration of Bishops Service July 16, 2016

The Bishops join in laying hands on the Bishop-Elect, as Bishop Robert T. Hoshibata prays:

God [of all life,]

giver of mercies and source of all comfort,

dwelling on high but having regard for the lowly,

knowing all things before they come to pass:

we give you thanks that from the beginning

you have gathered and prepared a people

to be heirs of the covenant of Abraham and Sarah,

and have raised up prophets, rulers, and priests,

never leaving your temple without a ministry.

We praise you also that from the creation

you have graciously accepted the service

of those whom you have chosen.

Almighty God,

pour upon Name the Holy Spirit,

for the ministry of a bishop in Christ’s holy church.

All audibly affirm the action, saying, Amen.

Almighty God,

fill the heart of this your servant,

whom you have chosen to be a bishop

with such love of you and of all the people

that she/he may feed and tend the flock of Christ,

serve in the ministry of reconciliation,

and supervise and support the life and work of the church.

In all things may he/she present before you

the acceptable offering of a pure, gentle, and holy life;

through Jesus Christ your servant,

to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,

be honor and power and glory,

now and forever.

All audibly affirm the action, saying, Amen.

7

The new Bishop places her/his hands on the Bible.

Name, receive the Holy Scriptures.

Feed the flock of Christ,

defend them in Christ’s truth,

and be a faithful steward of Christ’s Word and Sacraments.

Reflect upon the contents of this Book.

Give attention to reading, exhortation, and teaching.

Be to the people of God

a prophetic voice and a courageous leader.

Be to the flock of Christ a shepherd;

support the weak, heal the sick,

bind up the broken, restore the outcast,

seek the lost, relieve the oppressed.

Faithfully administer discipline,

but do not forget mercy,

that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear

you may receive the never-fading crown of glory.

Bishop Alfred Johnson, representing The United Methodist Church Council of Bishops, places a

stole on the new Bishop.

All audibly affirm the action, saying, Amen.

THANKSGIVING AND COMMUNION

THE INVITATION TO HOLY COMMUNION

In the midst of a world where people hunger and thirst . . .

come worship a God who feeds the hungry. In the midst of a world where people are abused and oppressed . . .

come worship a God who calls for compassion and justice. In the midst of a world filled with wars and rumor of war . . .

come worship a God who desires nothing less than peace for the world. In the midst of a world of spiritual emptiness . . .

come worship a God who gives life meaning. Come worship a God whose grace and love spreads a table before us,

a table where all are welcome. —Taken from Sacraments and Seasons: Peacemaking through Worship from Presbyterian Peacemaking Program.

Though there are shadows and worries,

You have placed your Word in us to be a lamp for our feet.

You have given your Spirit like a bright guiding star.

You place your Truth like a crescent moon.

Every darkness is overcome with Light.
