WELCOME:


LIGHTING OF THE COMMUNITY CANDLE:
We welcome each and every person in the name of God, creator, companion, inspirer.  Thank you for what each of you brings…experiences, insights, enthusiasm, questions, faith, doubts, gifts for ministry.  Together we are the people of God and together we represent the Spirit of God to the world.

RECOGNITION OF THIS LAND:

HYMN:
Voices United #595 – We Are Pilgrims Verse 1 & 2
 
PRAYER: (Whole People of God, Nov 1, 2020)
In times of uncertainty, loving God, we gather to be reminded of your presence.  When we are unsure of whether to go forward or back, or even to step aside, you remind us that wherever we go we are never far from you.  In this time of worship, fill our hearts with an awareness of your presence and guide us to step forth from this place as new people.  Amen
