WELCOME ONE ANOTHER 

* CALL TO WORSHIP  
Today we remember the saints who have gone before us, those whose lives have shown us what it means to follow Christ. 
We remember their courage, their compassion, and their commitment to do no harm. 
They taught us that Christian love begins with restraint—refusing to participate in the harm of others. 
They showed us a better way: the way of Christ, who broke down every barrier and welcomed all into the circle of grace. 
We honor their example and open ourselves to the Spirit who shaped them. 
We are people who choose mercy over judgment, peace over violence, and love over harm. 
Surrounded by the great crowd of witnesses, let us worship the One who calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. 
Let us worship the God who calls us to holy living, and empowers us to do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God.

PRAYER  
Gracious God, today we give thanks for the saints who have gone before us. We remember those whose faith shaped our own, those who showed us what love looks like, and those whose quiet acts of kindness made a difference in the lives of others. Their witness reminds us that the Christian life is not simply about what we believe, but about how we live. Challenge us to consider the ways we treat one another. Teach us what it means to do no harm. Give us the courage to speak with kindness, listen with compassion, and stand alongside those who are mistreated. By your grace, make us saints in our own generation, so that our lives may bear witness to the transforming love of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH | Pastor Monique McBride, pastor to school and families 
The Apostles’ Creed  
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he will come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

SCRIPTURE  
Romans 12:9-21 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition 
9 Let love be genuine; hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good; 10 love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not lag in zeal; be ardent in spirit; serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints; pursue hospitality to strangers. 

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be arrogant, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. 18 If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 Instead, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 

These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God

THE LORD’S SUPPER  

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING 
The Lord be with you.  
And also with you. 
Lift up your hearts.   
We lift them up to You, Lord.  
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.  
It is right to give our thanks and praise. 

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth: 

You are to be praised for the women and men whose faithful witness to your love inspires each generation of your people: Abraham and Sarah, who believed Your promise and trusted you to lead them to a new land. Isaiah and Jeremiah who held fast to Your promise that a Messiah would come to save and redeem your people. Paul of Tarsus, who was beaten and shipwrecked while carrying the Gospel to many nations; Mary and Joseph, who by faith awaited Your promise until the birth of Jesus, our Savior.   

And the saints from this congregation who have gone before us and now dwell in God’s glorious kingdom:

All friends and family of Christ Church United Methodist 

Our loved ones who have gone before us 

And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn: 

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, 
heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.                                    
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.                           
Hosanna in the highest. 

Holy are you, and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ. By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection 

you gave birth to your Church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. 

On the night in which he gave himself up for us, he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: "Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. 

Do this in remembrance of me." 

When the supper was over he took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: "Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. 

Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." 

And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving 

as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith. 

Christ has died.   
Christ is risen.   
Christ will come again. 

Renew our communion with all your saints, the great cloud witnesses.  Strengthen us to run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Pioneer and Perfecter of our faith. 

Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here and on these gifts of bread and cup.  Make them be for us the Body and Blood of Christ that we might be for the world the Body of Christ redeemed by his blood.  By Your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory and we feast at His heavenly banquet.     

Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in Your holy church, all honor and glory is Yours almighty God, now and forever.  Amen. 

And now with the confidence of the children of God, let us pray together:   

THE LORD’S PRAYER  
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. 

You do not need to be a member of Christ Church or a United Methodist to come to the table. Christ himself is host and welcomes all.  If you cannot come forward, please know that someone will bring the bread and cup to you.
