Called to gather as God's people, we assemble in this place to unite our hearts and voices in thanksgiving for God's grace: for the birthing of creation, for Christ's rising from death's hold, for the coming of the Spirit, week by week claimed and retold. Taught and formed by proclamation, we await God's promised word: song and story, psalm and precept, all the range of scripture heard. By this ancient, living witness we are summoned to confess how we fall short, yet can trust that God will hear, forgive, and bless. Fed at Christ's abundant table, we partake of holy food, wake the gifts of hope and memory, taste and see that God is good. So our mingled lives are taken, blessed and broken for Christ's sake, given out to feed and comfort bodies, minds, and hearts that ache. Sent to share the Spirit's blessing, we go forth renewed, restored, humbled by the task before us, strengthened by the Love out-poured. Finding faith confirmed in action, led by hope through each new day, we are called to be God's people, living what we sing and pray.
