FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHUNITED CHURCH OF CHRISTSecond Sunday of LentRev. Dawn Garrett-Larsen, PastorJim Hilton, Lay ReaderFebruary 28, 2021Worship 10:30 AMWELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS PRELUDE “Chorale Prelude on a Melody by Orlando Gibbons” arr. by Healey Willan CALL TO WORSHIP Help us to accept, O Christ, that our paths may not be smooth and our journey may often be risky. Help us to accept vulnerability with no promise of security. Help us to give you devotion with no promise of reward.We don’t know what we’re asking when we ask for these things. But give us hands to take the cup you hold out to us – a cup of companionship; Help us gladly immerse ourselves in the baptism you want us to share; and to so know you on the road with us,that all our anxious thoughts of status, security and reward wash away, and we are left with you, just you, astonished by your love for us again. HYMN #477 Come and Find the Quiet Center (vs.1 & 3)(Please sing along at home) Come and find the quiet center 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 seeall the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be.In the Spirit let us travel, open to each other's pain,let our loves 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!INVOCATION (in unison) Great Door of Love, assure me of your protective presence as I wander about the landscapes of my life. When I become lost, clear a path for hope. May every seeking footstep of mine take me through the doorway of your love. Be my passageway today. O, be my passageway. I open the door of my heart to you.
