APPROACHING GOD

(the service will proceed unannounced)

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.

MUSICAL PRELUDE

WELCOME & PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP

LIGHTING OF THE CHRIST CANDLE

INTROIT: “My Soul Praise The Lord”

PUBLIC DOMAIN

My soul, praise the Lord! The Lord is most great

With glory arrayed, majestic in state

The light is his garment, the skies form a tent

And over the waters his couriers are sent.

Your Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound.

The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground

To God be all glory and wisdom and might

May God in his creatures forever delight.

CALL TO WORSHIP:

One: Peace be with you!

All: And also with you!

One: We gather together this day in peace, as one people, people of faith, filled with all the storms of life that sweep through us, within us, and through all that exists on this planet we call our home.

All: We trust in the one we call God, that Spirit of Life expressed in both the wind and the waves of our lives wherein we experience the voice of God, the Word of God active and alive in our midst.

One: We come seeking wisdom to engage the wild waves of our lives and to stand with those who struggle with injustice.

All: We proclaim that nothing is hopeless, that through our faith in the Spirit of Life that is within us and around us, we experience the one who is our rock and our strength in times of trouble.

One: We give thanks for this rock, this strength, that is resilient in all of us.

All: Come let us worship the one who is our strength and salvation.

HYMN: #374 VU “Come and Find the Quite Centre”

Come and find the quiet centre

In the crowded life we lead

Find the room for hope to enter

Find the frame where we are freed

Clear the chaos and the clutter

Clear our eyes that we can see

All the things that really matter

Be at peace and simply be

Silence is a friend who claims us

Cools the heat and slows the pace

God it is who speaks and names us

Knows our being touches base

Making space within our thinking

Lifting shades to show the sun

Raising courage when we’re shrinking

Finding scope for faith begun

In the Spirit let us travel

Open to each other’s pain

Let our lives and fears unravel

Celebrate the space we gain

There’s a place for deepest dreaming

There’s a time for heart to care

In the Spirit’s lively scheming

There is always room to spare

GATHERING PRAYER:

Here we are, Gracious God, in this particular moment in our lives, dealing with whatever life hands us as we experience all aspects of life and living. We may be, like Jesus’ disciples, in the midst of a storm in our lives needing hope and courage. We remember, with the psalmist, how hope and courage supported us when the boat of our lives was tossed about. We remember how Jesus calmed the winds and waves within his disciples as they crossed the Sea of Galilee. In trust and faith, we come together, giving thanks for the compassion, the power, the peace given to us through the life and work of Jesus. Amen.

Be still, my soul! for God is on your side;

bear patiently the cross of grief or pain:

Trust in your God, your saviour and your guide,

who through all changes faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul! your best, your heavenly Friend

through stormy ways leads to a peaceful end.

Be still, my soul! Your God will undertake

to guide the future surely as the past.

Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake;

all now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul! Life’s tempests still obey

the voice that once the waves’ wild fury stayed.

Be still, my soul! the hour is hastening on

when we shall be forever in God’s peace;

when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

love’s joys restored, our strivings all shall cease.

Be still my soul! when change and tears are past,

all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Spirit of the living God

Fall afresh on me

Music: Ron Klusmeier, 1992

OneLicense #A – 727839

It’s a song of praise to the Maker

The thrush sings high in the tree

It’s a song of praise to the Maker

The gray whale sings in the sea

It’s a call of life to the Giver

When waves and waterfalls roar

It’s a call of life to the Giver

When high tides break on the shore

And by the Spirit you and I

can join our voice to the holy cry

And sing, sing, sing

to the maker too.

It’s a hymn of love to the Lover

The bumblebees hum along

It’s a hymn of love to the Lover

The summer breeze joins the song

It’s the chorus of all creation

It’s sung by all living things

It’s a chorus of all creation

A song the universe sings

And by the Spirit you and I

can join our voice to the holy cry

And sing, sing, sing

to the maker too.

And by the Spirit you and I

can join our voice to the holy cry

And sing, sing, sing

to the maker too.
