Cantemos al Creador + Oh, sing to God above
Cantemos al Creador un himno de alegría,
feliz canción de amor, al nacer el nuevo día.
Dios hizo el cielo y mar, el sol y las estrellas,
Y en ellos vio bondad, pues sus obras eran bellas.
// ¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya! Cantemos al Creador. ¡Aleluya!//

Oh, sing to God above a hymn of joyful greeting,
A song of grateful love in the new day’s light repeating:
God made the sun and sky,the sun and stars in splendor;
Delight shone in God’s eye—all God’s works were filled with wonder.
//Alleluia, alleluia!  O sing to God above, alleluia!//

Cantemos al Creador un himno de alabanza
que exprese nuestro amor, nuestra fe, nuestra esperanza;
También la creación pregona su grandeza;
con nuestro fiel cantar  anunciamos su belleza.

Arriba los Corazones
Arriba los corazones, vayamos todos al pan de vida,
que es fuente de gloria eterna, de fortaleza y de alegría.

A ti acudimos sedientos, ¡ven, Jesús!
tenemos fe en tu misterio, ¡ven, Jesús!
Queremos darte la vida, ¡ven, Jesús!
con sus dolores y dichas, ¡ven, Jesús!

We lift up our hearts in gladness, as we now gather, one faith professing,
our life-giving Bread, the Source of our future Glory, brings strength and blessing.

Forgive our sins and our failings:  Jesus, come!
Remember us in your mercy:  Jesus, come!
The strength we need we will find here:  Jesus, come!
To bring forigveness to others:  Jesus, come!

Arriba los corazones, vayamos todos al pan de vida,
que es fuente de gloria eterna, de fortaleza y de alegría.

Que no haya luchas fraternas, ¡ven, Jesús!
ni esclavitud, ni miserias, ¡ven, Jesús!
aparta el odio del mundo, ¡ven, Jesús!
que exista un orden más justo, ¡ven, Jesús!    

We lift up our hearts in gladness, as we now gather, one faith professing,

Invitation to the Table + Invitación a la Mesa

Prayer of Thanksgiving + Acción de gracias
Uno/a:  Dios habita en ustedes.
Todos/as:  Y también en ti.
One:  Come to the table with thankful hearts.
All:  We open our hearts to God and to one another.

READ THIS COLUMN

Uno/a:  O Dios creativo, fuente de toda la vida y fundamento de nuestro ser, eres la energia vibrante bailando al centro del universo.  Te mueves a través de nosotros, y de dejas conocer por medio de nosotros también.  Como co-creadores contigo, encontramos la valentía para mover más allá de nosotros mismos, para dejar atrás los caminos viejos y abrazar la nueva vida. 

And so, in concert with those of every generation who have been touched by your redeeming love, we lift our praise to you.


One + Uno/a:  Holy, holy, holy Lord God of power and might; heaven and earth are full of your glory.  Hosanna in the highest.
All + Todos/as:  Hosanna in the highest.
Uno/a + One:  Bendito aquel que viene en el nombre de Dios.  Hosana en los cielos.  Hosana en los cielos.
Todos/as + All:  Hosana en los cielos.  Hosana en los cielos.

One:  From the beginning we did not trust you when you called us “good.” In our arrogance, we placed ourselves outside your garden of love. Separate from you, vulnerable and unprotected, we feared one another and our diversity. Ashamed of our humanity, and afraid of being ourselves, we distrusted your Word of love and forgiveness. But you did not abandon us to our isolation and despair. You sent your servant Jesus, baptized him with your Spirit, and infused him with your love and confidence. Healing, teaching, and sharing table with all manner of individuals, Jesus proclaimed your love for all humanity and called us forth to be ourselves.



Respira a través de nosotros, Dios, que nuestros cuerpos, mentes, almas y espíritus puedan ser llenados con la presencia generosa de tu vida.  Haznos de nuevo como un pueblo santo, fuertemente conectado contigo, firmament arraigado en la tierra, con ojos para reconocer lo sagrado en toda la vida.  Danos poder para esparcir la luz de Cristo en nuestro complejo y maravilloso mundo. 

Todos/as:  Amén.

THIS COLUMN ON PPT

Uno/a:  Creative God, source of life and ground of our being, you are the vibrant energy dancing at the center of the universe!  Through us you move, and through us you are made known to the world.  Co-creators with you, we are emboldened to move beyond ourselves, to find the courage to let go of old ways and welcome new life. 



Así que, en concierto con personas de todas la generaciones que tú has tocado con el amor redentor, elevamos nuestra alabanza hacia tí.

One + Uno/a:  Holy, holy, holy Lord God of power and might; heaven and earth are full of your glory.  Hosanna in the highest.
All + Todos/as:  Hosanna in the highest.
Uno/a + One:  Bendito aquel que viene en el nombre de Dios.  Hosana en los cielos.  Hosana en los cielos.
Todos/as + All:  Hosana en los cielos.  Hosana en los cielos.

Uno/a:  Desde el principio no confiamos en tí cuando nos llamaste “buenos/as.” En nuestra arrogancia, nos pusimos fuera de tu jardín de amor.  Separados de ti, vulnerables y desprotegidos/as, nos hemos temido los unos a los otros, y hemos desconfiado en nuestra diversidad.  Apenados de nuestra humanidad y miedosos de ser quienes somos,  desconfiamos de tu Palabra de amor y perdón.  Pero tú no nos abandonaste a nuestro aislamiento y desesperación.  Nos enviaste tu servidor, Jesús; lo bautizaste con tu Espíritu y lo infundiste con tu amor y confianza.  Sanidad, enseñanza y compartiendo la mesa con todo tipo de individuales, Jesús proclamó tu amor por toda la humanidad y nos llamó a ser quienes somos.

Breathe through us, God, that our bodies, minds, souls and spirits may be filled with your life-giving presence.  Make us again a holy people, strongly bound to you, firmly rooted in the earth, with eyes to see all life as sacred.  Empower us to spread the light of Christ in our complex and wondrous world. 




All:  Amen.

Todos/as:

Hágase tu voluntad,
en la tierra como en el cielo.

Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día,
y perdona nuestra ofensas,

Y no nos dejes caer en tentación,

Porque tuyo es el reino,
el poder, y la gloria,
por todos los siglos.
Amén.

14.07.20 Ordinary Time 13A Reflection

My only sense of 'mission' now was to show others that they, too, could feed and touch and heal and love, without fear. To catch them up in the desire to see more, taste more, without caring if they got doctrine right or became a regular at my church.

13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Please stand, all who are able.

Hymn
Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the Church neglect its mission
and the Gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.

Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor,
draw us closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.

Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.

Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.

Call to Worship
One:  We are people of all ages who enter this space
bringing our joys and our concerns.
All:  We come together in hope.
One:  We greet each other warmly with our voices and our smiles.
All:  We come together in peace.
One:  We share our growth and our aspirations.
All:  We come together in wonder.
One:  We share our losses and our disappointments.
All:  We come together in sorrow.
We share our concern and our compassion.
All:  We come together in love.
One:  We sing and pray and listen.
We speak and read and dream.
We think and ponder and reflect.
We cry and laugh and reflect.
We mourn and celebrate and meditate.
We strive for justice and for mercy.
All:  We come together to worship God.

Please be seated

Psalm 95
All:  //If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.//
One:  Come, ring out our joy to God; hail the rock who saves us.
Let us come now before God, with songs let us hail the Lord.
All:  //If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.//
One:  Come, let us bow and bend low; let us kneel before God who made us,
for God is God, we the people of God, the flock that is led by God’s hand.
All:  //If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.//
One:  O that today you would hear God’s voice, “Harden not your hearts
as on that day in the desert, when your parents put me to the test.”
All:  //If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.//

Prayer of Confession
NOT ON PPT

Let us pray.
 Open our hearts, O God of glory,
 to the presence of your Spirit.
 Hear our songs of praise and the quiet yearnings of our souls,
 and feed us again through word and sign. Amen.
 Let us call to mind our sins.


—silent reflection—

One:  God of all creation,
we have wasted your gifts and squandered our inheritance.
Have mercy on us.
All:  Have mercy on us.

One:  God of saving grace,
we have turned away from your message of peace and love.
Have mercy on us.
Have mercy on us.
God of new life,
we have forgotten that in you all things are possible.
Have mercy on us.
All:  Have mercy on us.

—silent reflection—

One:  Jesus Christ came into the world to free us from despair.
Hear then, these words of grace:
“Your sins are forgiven.”
All:  Amen. Thanks be to God.

Please stand, all who are able.

Song of Praise
1.  I am that great and fiery force
the spark in every thing that lives;
in shining of the river's course,
in greening grass that glory gives.

2.  I shine in glitter on the seas,
in burning sun, in moon and stars.
In unseen wind, in verdant trees
I breathe within, both near and far.

3.  And where I breathe there is no death,
and meadows glow with beauties rife.
I am in all, the spirit's breath,
the thundered word, for I am Life.

Prayer
One: I was hungry and you gave me food
All: Let us act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God.
One: I was thirsty and you gave me drink
All: Let us act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God.
One: I was a stranger and you welcomed me
All: Let us act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God.
One: I was naked and you clothed me
All: Let us act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God.
One: I was ill and you comforted me
All: Let us act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God.
All: God, true light and source of all Light, may we recognize you in
One: oppressed people,
All: poor people,
One: homeless people,
All: hungry people.
One:  May we be open to your Spirit that we may be a means of healing, strength, and peace for all your children. We ask this through Jesus, your son and our brother!
All:  Amen

Please be seated

Scripture Readings
Exodus 17:1-7; Psalm 42:1-3; John 19:28-29
NOT ON PPT

Exodus 17:1-7
From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the Israelites journeyed by stages, as the Holy One commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. The people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Holy One?” But the people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried out to God, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.”  God said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreled and tested the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Psalm 42:1-3
As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God?
My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me continually, “Where is your God?”

John 19:28-29

After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth.


Reader:  Hear what the Spirit is saying to you today.
All:  Thanks be to God!

Sermon
I thirst

Please stand, all who are able.

Song
All:
All you who are thirsty,
come to the water;
all you who hunger,
come receive grain;
all without money,
come without paying;
all you who heed me,
come for rich fare.

One:
Come now and listen that you may have life;
my covenant I will renew,
this covenant shall be eternal,
as I promised to David.

All:
All you who are thirsty,
come to the water;
all you who hunger,
come receive grain;
all without money,
come without paying;
all you who heed me,
come for rich fare.

One:
Why spend your money for what is not bread,
your wages for what fails to satisfy?
Heed my commandments and you shall eat well;
you shall delight in rich fare.

All:
All you who are thirsty,
come to the water;
all you who hunger,
come receive grain;
all without money,
come without paying;
all you who heed me,
come for rich fare.

One:
Drink of this water abundant with life
and eat of the bread I provide.
I am the bread and the water am I;
put hunger and thirsting aside.

All:
All you who are thirsty,
come to the water;
all you who hunger,
come receive grain;
all without money,
come without paying;
all you who heed me,
come for rich fare.

Litany of compassion
One:  Oh God of infinite mercy and grace, hear our prayers as we pray for the unaccompanied migrant children among us.
All:  Extend your tender care to these children, oh God, making of us your agents of compassion and love to them.
One:  Remove from our hearts any obstacle that does not allow us to see them as the precious children you have created.
All:  Be merciful towards us for our failures to respond to these unaccompanied migrant children in the way that Jesus once did, receiving them and embracing them and declaring that the children are the inheritors of your kingdom.
One:  Place within us a burning love for these migrant children and all children, that we may give witness to them of the world of justice and peace that you hope for, for all your children.
All:  Remind us that in your eyes there are no borders, only a great big world of your children whom you love without exception.
Amen.

Song
My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!
You will find her sowing seeds of love where grapes of wrath once poured.
May we, two or three together, raise God’s justice high once more:
God’s truth still marches on.
Glory, glory Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
God’s truth still marches on.

I have read a fiery gospel of unmitigated love,
Of a Christ who is within, without, below, around, above.
Let me be the one who turns my cheek when push has come to shove:
God’s truth still marches on.
Glory, glory Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
God’s truth still marches on.

Christ has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
Bidding each of us to sit and serve at one another’s feet.
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer, see the Christ in all I meet:
God’s truth still marches on.
Glory, glory Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
God’s truth still marches on.

God is coming to the people on a tidal wave of peace,
Bringing wisdom to the mighty, that all needless strife may cease.
May we listen to each other, and by hearing find release:
God’s truth still marches on.
Glory, glory Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
God’s truth still marches on.
