 Judy: We pray for peace
 in our hearts,
 in our homes,

 Call to Worship – Raleen, Larry, and Judy
 Raleen: Please join us in the call to worship…
 Raleen: The spirit of God calls us from many places; some of us come from busy homes with many people some of us live alone. We are a part of the family.
  Larry: This week has been different for each of us; some of us have had happy news we want to celebrate some of us have faced grief and need to cry. We are members of God’s family.
   Judy: Yet we all come to this same place; all of us seeking God’s presence in our lives all of us seeking God’s presence with each other. Together we become God’s family. Amen.
  
 Children’s Moment - Adam
  
 Passing of the Peace – Judy and Raleen
   Raleen: Friends, although we are physically separated as we practice social distance, in reality we are all connected. And so we come to the point in our service where we pass the peace with one another. I invite you to open your palms up like this and imagine yourself connected to everyone watching this livestream as we pass the peace to one another.
 Judy: Beloved of God, may the peace of Christ be with you.
 All: And also with you.
  
 Song: De Colores – Rhonda, Maren, Debbie, Dave, and Jeff

 Community Prayer and Lord’s Prayer – Raleen, Larry, and Judy
  
 Our God,
 Who art in Heaven,
 Hallowed be 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 debts, 
 as we forgive our debtors. 
 And lead us not into temptation, 
 but deliver us from evil. 
 For Thine is the kingdom, 
 and the power, and the glory,
 forever and ever. Amen.
  
 Sermon – Jesus Choses Everyone
  
 Unison Benediction – 
 May God bless you and keep you.
 May God’s face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
 May God look upon you with kindness and bring you peace.
 This day and forever more. Amen
 -Numbers 6:24-26
