Welcome Rev. Scott Davis
Welcome to Aldersgate and to this worship experience! Please take a moment to sign the
attendance pad found at the end of each pew and then pass it down to your neighbor. If you
have a prayer request please complete the blue card found in your pews and pass it to the
ushers during the opening hymn. Kindly silence all electronic devices as we prepare to worship.

*Call to Worship Linda Evans
Leader: God of grace: We have come for a glimpse of your kingdom of kindness,
People: a world where love rules over all, a world where enemies
embrace, a world where the distinctions between friend and foe
evaporate in the light of your love.
Leader: Knowing you have the power to transform us,
People: we give our lives over to you, body, soul, mind, spirit.
In Jesus name, Amen. Copyright Carol Penner, www.leadinginworship.com

*Opening Hymn 368 My Hope Is Built

*Prayer of Confession and Pardon
Lord God, your love for humankind present in the beginning of all things,
extends throughout history and touches each life. Your love sees failings
and forgives. Your love feels pain and wipes away our tears. Your love knows grief
and comforts the sorrowful. Your love sees sin and still loves the sinner.
Forgive us when we fail to live lives that reflect your love. Forgive us the many times
when we take for granted all that you have done for us. Transform us, through your
Spirit, and empower us to serve you, this day and all days. Amen.

Come Now Children
All children are invited to come forward as the congregation sings:
Come, now, children, this is your time; God loves you, we love you,
you are the gift of our church!

NEW AUMC DINNER GROUPS
We are organizing a new set of dinner groups this fall. While sharing food and fellowship, we
hope to get to know each other better and meet new people. This opportunity is open to
everyone who might be interested, including members, visitors, couples, and singles. Dinner
groups (~8) are coordinated by leaders and meet once a month for a pot-luck meal in
someones home or at a restaurant, depending on what works best for each set of participants.
Groups are shuffled every 3 months. This year we also plan to invite guests, in order to increase
our circle of friendship. On the sign-up sheet, please indicate whether you will be able to
participate regularly or want to join a group on an occasional basis, due to scheduling
constraints. For more information, please contact Melissa King: mdking26@gmail.com /
