The Chiming of the Hour Welcome and Meet and Greet Bill Heaton Prelude “We’re Marching to Zion”1 † Processional Hymn, UMH 98 “To God Be the Glory”2 †Lighting of the Altar Candles † Greeting (B. D. Prewer) It is not we who chose Christ, But Christ, who chose us. We are not here because of our goodness But because of God’s grace. We are not here to enlighten ourselves, But to allow Christ to enlighten us and lead us to serve. We have not come to be entertained, But to worship God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. † Opening Prayer Bill Heaton † Gloria Patri, UMH 70 “Glory Be to the Father”3 Affirmation of Faith “A Statement of Faith of the United Church of Canada” Children’s Procession “Jesus Loves Me”4 Children’s Time Pastor Mark Anthem, UMH 131 “Give Me Jesus (with Steal Away)”5 Scripture and Sermon Rev. Mark B. McFadden 1 Corinthians 1:10-18         “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” Prayer of Confession   (Feasting on the Word Worship Companion) Almighty God, we confess that we have not been faithful to you in our thoughts and actions. We have been selfish in our desires and quarrelsome in our relationships. When we allow fear to divide us from those who seem different, Forgive us. When we let distrust separate us from our brothers and sisters, Forgive us. Shine your light into our darkened hearts. Save us from our divisive ways. Unite us in the same mind as Jesus Christ, Who dwells with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect harmony. Declaration of Pardon  (Moira B. Laidlaw) Here is the Good News: Through the message about the cross in Christ Jesus, We are empowered to live new and forgiven lives.  So be it!
