Prelude – On Eagles’ Wings - Jean Herrera Adam: God be with you. All: And also with you. Welcome and Announcements – Adam Lighting of the Peace Candle – Jessica and Joel Our tradition at CUCC is to light a peace candle at the beginning of each worship service to center ourselves around the Peace of God. I invite you to join us in lighting the peace candle… All: We pray for peace in our hearts, in our homes, in our communities, in our nations, and in our worlds. Scripture Readings – Mark 10:17-31 Call to Worship – Jessica and Joel Jessica: Please join us in the call to worship… Jessica: We wonder, “What must we do to inherit eternal life?” The world tells us to: All: Work harder. Joel: Gain more wealth. All: Get more likes. Jessica: Strive for more power. All: Become more popular. Joel: But these do not lead to eternal life. So what does? All: Love. May we receive God’s love and share it with one another. Children’s Moment – Adam Passing of the Peace – Jessica and Joel Jessica: Friends, we come to the moment where we pass the peace. I invite you to open your palms up as we pass the peace to one another. Joel: Beloved of God, may the peace of Christ be with you. All: And also with you.
