REFRAIN: One bread, one body, one Lord of all.
One cup of blessing which we bless.
And we, though many, throughout the earth.
We are one body in this one Lord.
Gentile or Jew, servant or free
woman or man no more (Refrain)
Many the gifts, many the works.
One in the Lord of all. (Refrain)
Grain for the fields, scattered and grown,
gathered to one, for all. (Refrain)

Prayers of the People
Rev. Karla Fredericksen
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.

Do you hear what I hear?
Well, not yet, but the bells are warming up! Calling all bell players! Soon we’ll have bell solos, duets and trios recording especially for our worship services. If you fit that catagory, you should have gotten an email from Mary Dahlstrom inviting you to volunteer to help out. If you somehow missed it, contact her.
Listeners, get ready! Be watching our worship for some home-grown special music in the coming weeks.
