A smile growing, in the way I was speaking
a smile growing, capturing my face
my
voice rising, in the sharing
subtly, but certain, a feeling
Christ revealing himself
to the disciples of John
Smiling in my heart
echoed in theirs,
smiles
upon their faces
in response, in worship
a congregation joining, sharing
in the proofs of the coming of our King.

A Smile Growing
I served as Liturgist
Call to Worship:
Let us praise God, the
creator of heaven and Earth.
Let us seek God with open
minds and open hearts.
May we feel the Holy
spirit among us.
As the Scriptures are read
and the Word proclaimed,
as prayers and music are
offered, may we receive with
joy and thanksgiving what
is offered for us.
Unison Prayer:
Almighty God, to you all
hearts are open, all
desires known, and from you
no secrets are
hidden. Cleanse the
thoughts of our hearts by the
inspiration of your Holy
Spirit, that we may love
you with our whole self,
and worthily praise your
holy name. Through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Luke 7:17-22
Prayer of Dedication:
Loving God, the giver of
all that is good; our lives
are blessed daily by your
gifts. Help us to receive
your gifts with such
gratitude, that we will be giving,
as you are to us.
We pray that through us the whole
world will know the gift of
your generous love in
Jesus Christ, the one who
gave his life for us, and for
the whole world.
Acts 3:1-8
