\nWorship for Second Sunday after Pentecost<\/h1>\n

June 14, 2020<\/h2>\n


\n\u201cFUMC from the Air\u201d by Peter Frisoni<\/em><\/p>\n

Getting Centered<\/h2>\n

It may help to center yourself into worship by lighting a candle, as a symbol of God’s presence with you during the time of worship. You may also want to pay attention to lighting, the position of your body, and the availability of distractions.<\/p>\n

Breath Prayer<\/h3>\n

\u201cAlleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on High!\u201d
\nBreath prayers involve breathing in the first phrase, and breathing out the second.
\nYou may wish to simply pray for a moment before starting, or you may wish to pray while listening to the prelude.<\/em><\/p>\n

Prelude<\/h3>\n

“Pri\u00e8re \u00c0 Notre Dame” by L\u00e9on Bo\u00ebllmann<\/strong>
\nDominick Giaquinto – Organ

Call to Worship<\/h3>\n

If you are with another person, you may wish to read this out-loud. Otherwise, you can read it as a reminder that this is communal worship done in a large geographical area.<\/em>
\nOne: God of Love, You care for us as Shepherd,
\nMany: Leading us to fresh pasture and living water.<\/strong>
\nOne: You care for us as Holy Parent,
\nMany: Drawing us closer, to you and each other,
\nWithin your tender embrace.<\/strong>
\nOne: You care for us as Savior,
\nMany: Forgiving all who reach out to you in faith.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hymn #89: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee<\/em><\/h3>\n
