Welcome - Pam Auble

Welcome to the Mantua Center Christian Church! We are a community seeking to have open minds, open hearts, and open arms, building community in a fragmented world. 

 Prelude - Thou, my Everlasting Portion [by S. J. Vail] Sarah Park

Opening Scripture - Galatians 6:9-10

9So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. 10So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.

*Response - Weave                                                                                      

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

*Call to Worship - Jon Bozeka

ONE: Justice and kindness make for peace.
ALL: Justice and kindness are for healing the hurts in ourselves, our relationships, and in the world.
ONE: Many people around us and in this world experience hurt, grief, brokenness, and sorrow.
ALL: Help us to act in healthy and loving ways with our friends and neighbors, with strangers and enemies. 
ONE: Justice and kindness make for peace and healing.
ALL: Help us to fill the world with your kindness and love


*Opening Hymn - Fill My Cup, Lord #351, v.1-2

1. Like the woman at the well 
I was seeking for things that could not satisfy;
and then I heard my Savior speaking; 
“Draw from my well that never shall run dry”

Refrain: Fill my cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of Heaven, feed me ‘til I want no more - 
fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

2. There are millions in this world 
who are craving the pleasure earthly things afford;
but none can match the wondrous treasure
that I find in Jesus Christ my Lord. [Refrain]


Invitation to Generosity                                            

Invitation - Jon Bozeka

Offertory - “Since Christ my Soul from sin set free” by J. M. Black  

The Doxology #46 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise God, all creatures here below;
praise God above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Offering Prayer - Jon Bozeka


Children’s Moment - Pam Auble

Pastoral Prayer - Pam Auble

Communion                                                                                    

Meditation - Sue Wright                                                               

Communion Hymn - All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly #419 v.1-2

1 All who hunger gather gladly; Holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and wand’ring. Here in truth we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness, all around us is our food.
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.

2. All who hunger, never strangers, seeker, be a welcome guest. 
Come from restlessness and roaming. Here, in joy, we keep the feast. 
We that once were lost and scattered in communion’s love have stood. 
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.

Prayer & Lord’s Prayer - Sue Wright                                               

Words of Institution - Pam Auble

Music: “Would you be free from your burden of sin?” by L. E. Jones

*Closing Hymn - Leaning on the Everlasting Arms #560, v.1-2

1 What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

[Refrain:]
Leaning (leaning on Jesus), leaning (leaning on Jesus),
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning (leaning on Jesus), leaning (leaning on Jesus),
leaning on the everlasting arms.

2 O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]


Benediction - Pam Auble

Postlude - “Tis so sweet to walk with Jesus” [by A. B. Simpson] - Sarah Park
