Order of Worship
For Meditation and Reflection
“The universal incarnation always shows itself in the specific, the concrete, and the particular — refusing to be an abstraction. Poet Christian Wiman puts it this way: ‘If nature abhors a vacuum, Christ abhors a vagueness. If God is love, Christ is love for this one person, this one place, this one time-bound and time-ravaged self.’” —Richard Rohr
Welcome and Introduction of Worship Leader (Lay Leader)
Responsive Call to Worship
Worship Leader: When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread.
Congregation: Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Worship Leader: So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them.
Congregation: Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.”
Worship Leader: Then Jesus took the bread and gave it to them, and he did the same with the fish. And they ate, and they saw, and they cared for one another.
