Love Divine, All Loves Excelling arr. Rick Parks

Neal Baek and Hayden Bach

from Opening Worship of General Assembly 223 In the earliest days when all was chaos, as God created something new, God gathered the waters. All else was separated, then formed; put forth or called. But the waters were gathered. Gathered together in one place. In our days, in all our chaos, God has gathered us here Gathered us like the waters. Be strong. Have courage. Rejoice in the Lord. Come to the water. Be gathered in.

Bill Rea, liturgist God of promise, forgive your people when your dreams of shalom for all are co-opted by yearnings for earthly kingdoms. Give us the courage to name the sins which continue to distort our lives. May our life together bless all creation with your shalom – a life in which every person experiences dignity, well-being, wholeness, peace, justice. Forgive us. Renew us, transform us, we pray – that we may truly become the blessing you have called us to be.

Silence is kept

The Vision of Peace and Unification on the Korean Peninsula Rev. Theo Baek

God Is So Good Nº 658

from The Confession of 1967We believe in our Sovereign God who rules in Jesus Christ and stirs hope in us all. With an urgency born of this hope, we, the church, apply ourselves to present tasks and strive for a better world. We do not identify limited progress with the reign of God on earth, nor despair in the face of disappointment and defeat. In steadfast hope, the church looks beyond all partial achievement to the final triumph of God.

Mira Song Cantor, Adam Ramaley Malotte

Please join in singing as you are able

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

O Lord My God Nº 625 Rev. Jeff Binder and Rev. Theo Baek

Let us go from this place in the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace. May God bless us with strength to seek justice. May God bless us with wisdom to care for the earth. May God bless us with courage to live together in unity. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Alleluia! Amen.
