APPROACHING GOD

Our Worship Service is Livestreamed

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.

Part 3 of Sermon Series – “Thriving: Not Just Surviving”

Our Sermon Service is inspired by the book,

“Turning Ourselves Inside Out: Thriving Christian Communities”

by Russel Daye & Robert C. Fennel

MUSICAL PRELUDE: “Psalm of Glory” by Dorothy Wells

HYMN: #333 VU “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” Public Domain

Love divine, all loves excelling,

joy of heav’n, to earth come down,

fix in us thy humble dwelling,

all thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesus, thou art all compassion,

pure, unbounded love thou art.

Visit us with thy salvation;

enter every trembling heart.

Come, Almighty, to deliver,

let us all thy grace receive.

Suddenly return, and never,

nevermore thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,

serve thee as thy hosts above,

pray, and praise thee without ceasing,

glory in thy perfect love.

Finish, then, thy new creation;

Pure and spotless let us be.

Let us see thy great salvation

perfectly restored in thee.

Changed from glory into glory,

till in heaven we take our place,

till we cast our crowns before thee,

lost in wonder, love and praise.

GATHERING PRAYER: by Rev. Rachel Campbell

Loving God, give us the courage to be in a place of gratitude. To be in this place of worship and come with a gratefulness. Help us to embody the love that you show and have for each of us. We are ready to be in relationship and engage in acts of honest friendship. Open our minds to the act of hospitality that births authentic welcome. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

LISTENING TO GOD’S WORD

SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 13 NRSV Rev. Bob Lockhart

HYMN: #372 VU “Though I May Speak”

Words: Hal H. Hopson 1972 Music: trad. English melody, adapt. Hal H. Hopson 1972 Words and arrangement © 1972 Hope Publishing Company. All rights reserved. Reprinted, streamed and podcast with permission under OneLicense #A727839. All rights reserved.

Though I may speak with bravest fire,

and have the gift to all inspire,

and have not love;

my words are vain;

as sounding brass, and hopeless gain.

Though I may give all I possess,

and striving so my love profess,

but not be given

by love within,

the profit soon turns strangely thin.

Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control,

our spirits long to be made whole.

Let inward love

guide every deed;

by this we worship, and are freed.

SERMON: “Leading with an Open Heart: Let’s Explore the Virtue of Love”

Rev. Rachel Campbell

RESPONDING TO GOD’S WORD

MINISTRY OF MUSIC: #89 MV “Love Is the Touch”

Music Copyright © 1998, WGRG, Iona Community, GIA Publications, Inc. Used by permission of Iona Community. All rights reserved. Reprinted and podcast/streamed with permission under OneLicense #A-727839. All rights reserved

Love is the touch of intangible joy

Love is the force that no fear can destroy

Love is the goodness we gladly applaud

God is where love is, for love is of God.

Love is the lilt in a lingering voice

Love is the hope that can make us rejoice

Love is the cure for the frightened and flawed

God is where love is, for love is of God.

Love is the light in the tunnel of pain

Love is the will to be whole once again

Love is the trust of a friend on the road

God is where love is, for love is of God.

Love is the Maker and Spirit and Son

Love is the kingdom their will has begun

Love is the path which the saints all have trod

God is where love is, for love is of God.

OFFERTORY PRAYER: Rev. Rachel Campbell

Through all our living we our fruits must give
Good works of service are for offering
When we are giving or when receiving
We belong to God we belong to God

Across this wide word we shall always find
Those who are crying with no peace of mind
But when we help them or when we feed them
We belong to God we belong to God

CALL TO PRAYER: #16 MV “Come and Fill Our Hearts”

Come and fill our hearts with your peace

You alone, O Lord, are holy

Come and fill our hearts with your peace

Alleluia!

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE: Rev. Bob Lockhart

HYMN: #169 MV “When Hands Reach Out Beyond Divides”

When hands reach out beyond divides

and hope is truly found

Each chain of hate will fall away

and bells of peace shall sound

And bells of peace, of peace shall sound

and bells of peace shall sound

Each chain of hate will fall away

and bells of peace shall sound

When fear no longer guides our steps

and days of war are done

God’s dream for all shall live anew,

our hearts will heal as one.

Our hearts will heal, will heal as one,

our hearts will heal as one

God’s dream for all shall live anew,

our hearts will heal as one.

When race and creed blind us no more,

a neighbour’s face we’ll see

And we shall dance the whole world round,

for love will set us free.

For love, yes, love will set us free,

for love will set us free.

And we shall dance the whole world round,

for love will set us free.

UPDATE ON VIRTUAL TRINITY UCC SUMMERSIDE

Virtual Trinity and our YouTube channel (Virtual Trinity UCC Summerside) continues to be a great success in the life and work of Trinity. Our average views in 2021 are around 200 views per service. Online viewing interest continues to be strong even when we are able to meet in person. With the introduction of livestream in the fall of 2021 more people are able to see their church and worship in their sanctuary in a new way. Our viewers are intentional and they engage watching and worshiping by going to our website, our Facebook page, or directly to our YouTube channel and click on the worship service itself. Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to your church online and in person.
