Gathering Check-In
*Call to Worship:
We come from the chaos of the world,
Many: seeking to be centered in God.
One: We come from the confusion of the world,
Many: seeking the truth of God.
We come from the foolishness of the world,
Many: seeking the wisdom of God.
We come from the hunger of the world,
Many: seeking the nourishment of God.
We come from the violence of the world,
Many: seeking the peace of God.
We gather together now, with God and with each other.
May God bless our time of worship

*Prayer:
(from 1 Corinthians 1:25)
God of the unexpected,
as we worship together,
let our minds be open to your foolishness,
which is wiser than human wisdom.
Let us rest in your weakness,
which is stronger than human strength. Amen.
Sending Hymn: The Peace of the Earth #838
*Benediction:
Go forth in the strong vulnerability of the Creator,
the wise foolishness of Jesus Christ,
and the sure uncertainties of the Holy Spirit.
Know that the powerful presence of God surrounds you,
and the holy table is set for us all.
