Welcome
Gathering Song – “Child of Love,” Andrew Bergthold, Ed Cash,
 Franni Cash, Martin Cash, and Scott Cash
    1. I was walking the wayside
       Lost on a lonely road
       I was chasing the high life
       Try’n to satisfy my soul
    2. All the lies I believed in
       Left me crying like the rain
       Then I saw lightning from heaven
       And I’ve never been the same
    Chorus: I’m gonna climb a mountain
     I’m gonna shout about it
     I am a child of love
     I f ound a world of freedom
     I found a friend in Jesus
     I am a child of love
    3. I’ve felt the sting of the fire
       But I saw You in the flames
       Just when I thought it was over
       You broke me out of the grave (chorus)
    Bridge: Nothing can change the way You love me
      Nothing can change the way I belong to You
      Yes I do. Nothing can separate (repeat, then chorus)
Confession and Forgiveness
Song for Lent – “From This Place,” Dennis Gale
   Chorus: In this place our God planted the seeds of love.
      In this space they’re nurtured every day.
      In God’s grace we’ll reach out to evryone.
      From this place we’ll do the work of the Lord.
    1. With trust and hope, a foundation of faith was laid.
       And like a flower, it has grown.
       Now day by day, nurtured by God’s faithful souls,
       In Christ a new light has been shown. (chorus)

2. We’re reaching out to the people who need a place,
       A haven they can call home
       We’ll show God’s love with a welcome to them all.
       We’re sharing a home for God’s own. (chorus)
    Final chorus: In this place our God planted the seeds of love.
      In this space they’re nurtured every day.
      In God’s grace we’ll reach out to everyone.
      From this place we’ll do the work of the Lord.
      From this place we’ll do the work of the Lord.

Reading – Joshua 5:9–12
Gospel – Luke 15:1–3, 11b–32
Sermon
Song of the Day – “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone),” John Newton,
 Chris Tomlin, and Louie Giglio
   1. Amazing grace how sweet the sound
      That saved a wretch like me
      I once was lost but now I’m found
      Was blind but now I see
    2. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
       And grace my fears relieved
       How precious did that grace appear
       The hour I first believed
    Chorus: My chains are gone I’ve been set free
     My God my Savior has ransomed me
     And like a flood His mercy rains
     Unending love, amazing grace
    3. The Lord has promised good to me
       His word my hope secures
       He will my shield and portion be
       As long as life endures (chorus 2x)
    4. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine.
       But God who called me here below
       Will be forever mine, will be forever mine, You are forever mine.

 Offering Prayer
   God, there’s nowhere we can go
   where you aren’t already waiting:
   in the vineyard,
   in the grainfield,
   in the places where we live and work,
   and, most especially, at this table,
   where your Son has promised to meet us;
   where he is both Host and Meal.
   Reveal yourself to us now.
   Amen.

 Invitation to the Meal
 Communion Song – “Come Alive (Dry Bones),” Lauren Daigle and
   Michael Farren
    1. Through the eyes of man it seems
       There’s so much we have lost
       As we look down the road
       Where all the prodigals have walked
       And one by one the enemy
       Has whispered lies and led them off as slaves
    2. But we know that You are God
       Yours is the victory
       We know there is more to come
       That we may not yet see
       So with the faith You’ve given us
       We step into the valley unafraid
    Chorus: We call out to dry bones come alive come alive
     We call out to dead hearts come alive come alive
     Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise
     We call out to dry bones come alive
    3. God of endless mercy God of unrelenting love
       Rescue ev’ry daughter
       Bring us back the wayward sons
       And by Your spirit breathe upon them

Show the world that You alone can save
      You alone can save (chorus)
    Bridge: (So) breathe, oh breath of God
      Breathe, oh breath of God
      Breathe, oh breath of God, now breathe (repeat; chorus; bridge)
 Communion Song – “You Are Here,” Gene LeVasseur
   Chorus: You are here in this place
    You are here in this place
    1. Jesus your joy is in this place
       Joy you freely give, strength for us to live
       Jesus your peace is in this place
       Peace I’ve never known, flowing from your throne (chorus)
    2. Jesus your love is in this place
       Love that knows no end, washed away my sin
       Jesus, we praise you in this place
       Free our captive soul, make the broken whole (chorus)
 Prayer after the Meal
