Epiphany Sunday
Mantua Center Christian Church

GATHERING SONG - Built on a Rock

WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS - Sarah

Happy New Year Church! This is the Day that the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it! 

Welcome to the Mantua Center Christian Church.  Remember we gather not as perfect people, but people on a journey loved by God and called to gratitude in all life’s circumstances! 

INFO

  • Pastor Chad is out until January 5th. We hope that he has experienced peace, joy, and rest in his time of Sabbath. Check your emails for contact information for the variety of people that are happy to help you during his absence. 
  • This week we will hear the Good word from Rick Painley. We are blessed with his wisdom and presence!
  • We will be having fellowship time at 10:15 this week following the premier of our YouTube service. Check your email for the link to join our Zoom fellowship hour at your convenience. We can’t wait to fellowship with you.

Together we have set this time and space aside for the worship of God. Let us light a candle in celebration of our time with God in this space.

SONG - Weave            (Pam and Beth)

Weave, weave, weave us together.  Weave us together in unity and love. 
Weave, weave, weave us together.  Weave us together, together in love.

SCRIPTURE READING - Isaiah 60:1-6

UNISON CALL to WORSHIP

O come let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. For great is our God and greatly to be praised!  

OPENING HYMN               All Things Bright and Beautiful (2 Verses)

PASTORAL PRAYER - Sarah Smith

SONG RESPONSE            Open My Eyes, Lord    (Pam and Beth)

Open our eyes Lord.  We want to see Jesus.  
To reach out and touch Him.  And say that we love Him.  
Open our ears Lord.  And help us to listen.  
Open our eyes Lord.  We want to see Jesus.  

SCRIPTURE READING - John 4:21-24

SERMON - Rick Painley

HOLY COMMUNION - Doug Rice

Communion Song Be Thou My Vision (2 Verses)

Meditation

Communion Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer

Words of Institution

As we gather around Christ’s Table we remember that on the night that Jesus was betrayed, he took the bread and broke it, gave thanks and said to his Disciples, “This is my body which is give for you, eat of it all of you in remembrance of me.”  In like manner he took the cup and blessed it saying, “This is the cup of the new covenant in me, as often as you drink of it do so in remembrance of me.”  For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s life, death, and resurrection until he comes again.  Remember, all...ALL are welcome at the Lord’s Table.  

(Share in the Bread and Cup together)

CLOSING SONG   Let All Things Now Living   

BENEDICTION - Rick

DEPARTURE SONG 'March Of The Three Kings arr. E. Broughton (traditional Provencal melody)' Song
