Welcome
We acknowledge that the land upon which we gather is unceded Mi’kmaq territory. Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island) is covered by the historic Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We pay our respects to the Indigenous Mi’kmaq People who have occupied this Island for over 12,000 years; past, present and future.
Preparation for Worship:
Lighting of the Christ Candle:
*Introit Hymn #14MU: “Where Two or Three Are Gathered”
Call to Worship: (Let Us Pray: A Digital Collection of Prayers By Jane Doull – From The Prayer Bench)
One: Come and rest a while.
All: Pause from the busyness of this new season.
One: Breathe in the Love which surrounds you.
All: Listen for the still small voice speaking to your inmost heart. Amen
*Hymn #1MV: “Let Us Build a House” (vs 1, 4, 5)
*Gathering Prayer: (Let Us Pray: A Digital Collection of Prayers By Jane Doull – From The Prayer Bench)
Holy Wisdom, Light of Lights, Giver of Hope, as we begin this new season, we long for new life, new energy, new purpose. We long for the gifts of compassion, of caring community, in our everyday struggles and in the troubles of our world. Together may we find and share the life, love, and peace we need. May your Spirit fill us to the brim with zeal, imagination, and gusto. May we read the signs of the times and discern our special gift, our special calling, our special opportunity to do a new thing in our church and community, for joy for one another and the joy of your beloved world. Amen.
