Prelude “Family of God” arr. Keveren

Welcome Rev. Dan Schumacher with Roy and Shirley Gardner

Call to Worship Psalm 131 Bill Stephens “O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high;

I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother;

my soul is like the weaned child that is with me. O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time on and forevermore.” Amen.

Invocation and the Lord’s Prayer Rev. Dan Schumacher Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Musical Offering “Comptine d’un autre été” arr.Yann Tiersen soloist, Allen Shatto

Scripture Reading Luke 14:15-24 Tammy Lichtenstein One of the dinner guests, on hearing this, said to him, “Blessed is anyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” Then Jesus said to him, “Someone gave a great dinner and invited many. At the time for the dinner he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for everything is ready now.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of land, and I must go out and see it; please accept my regrets.’ Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please accept my regrets.’ Another said, ‘I have just been married, and therefore I cannot come.’ So the slave returned and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ And the slave said, ‘Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.” Then the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those who were invited will taste my dinner.’”

Benediction Rev. Dan Schumacher Let us go forth from this time, striving to know all of our brothers and sisters in the same way as God does… the God to whom, in both life and death, we belong. May we see and celebrate the gifts of all. And may we watch with wonder at how God weaves all of our gifts into the tapestry of God’s one kingdom. Amen. — adapted from a benediction byTerry Chaney
