For FEbruary 12, 2017 -- John's Question of Jesus "Are you the One"

OPENING PRAYER

God of the table, you call us to break bread together.

As we gather for worship we open ourselves to your presence.

God of community, you call us to share our lives with each other.

In this time of prayer, song, listening and eating

reveal your self present among us.

God whose kingdom is growing in the world,

help us see signs of the kingdom in places we expect and in places that surprise us

This we pray in the name of Jesus, teacher and guide, preacher and saviour,

 in whom we see you active in the world. AMEN.

COMMISSIONING:

We have gathered, we have eaten, we have prayed,

and now we go out into the world where we live and serve.

We go out with eyes open to see God in ways that surprise us.

We go out to tell others what we have seen and heard and experienced.

AS we go we share the promise of faith:

God is with us, in this place, in every place.

Go with God.

Amen.
