Cynthia L Hall Ministers the CongregationEaster-the Season of Resurrection To Discover Who We Are-Whose We Are What We Do-Where We Go In the power of the Risen Lord.May 21, 2023 Ascension SundayGood morning church! Welcome to Christ’s world; and I emphasize the reality that the world belongs to Christ, even when we act as though we own it. (Moment of silence)*INVITATION TO THE CELEBRATION: We have come because the living God has invited us to come.We have come to affirm who we are, whose we are, what we do, where we go, in the power of the ascended Christ.We affirm our life, all of it, in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the world, which God loved so much that God gave.Praise the lord! Christ is Sovereign!HYMN OF PRAISE Lord of the Dance #792UMHINVOCATION:O God, in one of the great paradoxes you used total rejection to bring forth redeeming love. Fill us with your love, Lord, that we might truly share the Gospel with others. In Christ, we pray. Amen.PSALTER READING: Psalm 68: 1-10, 32-35 #792UMHCHORAL RESPONSE PRESENTATION OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS Stewardship Challenge: Kenneth Clarke in a Pulpit Magazine sermon asks these probing questions to the disciples, then and now; “Why do you stand looking into heaven! Why do you continually attempt to confine my Lordship to the church? Why are you afraid to practice goodness in business and in politics? Why do you think that the people who go around asking others if I am their savior are my best witnesses when you know that I came on behalf of the world, every acre of it? In short, do you really believe in my kind of lordship or not?” *DOXOLOGY Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow #95 *PRAYER OF DEDICATION (In Unison) We give you thanks, heavenly Father. Inspire our living so that our time, our wealth, our energy, our very lives would be given freely for the world which you love so dearly, for the sake of him who gave himself for us, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.PRAISES AND PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLEMORNING PRAYERTHE LORD’S PRAYER #895 Our Father, 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 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*HYMN OF PREPARATION I Stand Amazed in the Presence #371 *GOSPEL LESSON Luke 7: 36-50MESSAGE The Love of God is Forgiving Rev. Cynthia L. Hall *HYMN OF OBEDIENCE He Is Lord #177UMH BENEDICTION: The power and lordship of Christ be yours as you enter the world each day!MEDITATION: The Ascension means, “taking Christ’s lordship seriously. It means being unafraid of the world because it is his world. It means being willing to seek him in it, and being able to identify him for others in the midst of it. It means being open and flexible to the guidance of His Holy Spirit in the creation of new forms of ministry.” As Bishop Pike has said, “It means distinguishing the package from the packaging.” *POSTLUDE*Please stand with your heart or your posture. ...
