*CALL TO WORSHIP (read responsively) Something awakened us this morning.
And now we gather with awakened spirits to worship the Lord of life and the Creator of this day.
Something moved us this morning.
And now we gather in this place to worship the Christ who moves among us. We come to follow the Spirit which leads us into deeds of love, acts of compassion and care.
May we have a faith that weaves together our waking and sleeping, our work and our leisure, our homes, places of work and this place of prayer and praise.
Let us worship the Lord. *HYMN “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee”
UMH #89OPENING PRAYER
We praise you, O God, for the week that is passed and for the many gifts it has brought us: for sunshine and cloud, sights to delight the eyes and thoughts to engage the mind, friends and family to love and cherish, work to stretch and sustain us, and worship to restore and strengthen our fellowship with you. Help us to be mindful of your presence with us in our rising up, in our going forth, in our coming in, and in our lying down. Through Christ, our Lord we pray.

We are at the end of a series of sermons based on the book, Reckless Love, Jesus Call to Love Our Neighbors by Tom Berlin, the senior pastor of Floris United Methodist Church in Herndon, Virginia. Berlin shows how Jesus linked loving God with loving the people around us. To love the way Jesus loved will challenge and change us. You can find the other sermons on the series at www.calvaryumc.orgThe altar flowers this morning are given by David Cline in honor of my grandsons: Connor Baldwin, Banks Baldwin and Julian Cline.
