PRELUDE
“You Are Mine”
I will come to you in the silence,
I will lift you from all your fear.
You will hear My voice,
I claim you as My choice.
Be still, and know I am here.
I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see.
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light.
Come and rest in Me.
Chorus:
Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow Me,
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.
I am strength for all the despairing,
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame.
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free;
And all will know My name.
Chorus
I am the Word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give.
I will call your name, embracing all your pain;
Stand up, now, walk, and live!

PROCESSIONAL HYMN
“Servant Song”
What do you want of me, Lord? Where do you want me to serve
you? Where can I sing your praises. I am your song.
Jesus, Jesus, you are the Lord. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
I hear you call my name, Lord, and I am moved within me. Your
Spirit stirs my deepest self. Sing your songs in me.
Jesus, Jesus, you are my Lord. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
Above, below, and around me. Before, behind and all through me,
your Spirit burns deep within me. Fire my life with your love.
Jesus, Jesus, be the warmth of my heart. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
You are the light in my darkness. You are my strength when I’m
weary. You give me sight when I’m blinded. Come see for me.
Jesus, Jesus, you are my light. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
I am your song and servant, singing your praise like Mary.
Surrendered to your spirit, "Let it be done unto me."
Jesus, Jesus, "Let it be done unto me." Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST READING — EXODUS I: 20-21
Lisa Colbert
Therefore God dealt well with the midwives. The people, too,
increased and grew strong. And because the midwives feared
God, He built up families for them.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
“Holy Is His Name” (Magnificat)
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
And my spirit exalts in God my Savior.
For He has looked with mercy on my lowliness,
And my name will be forever exalted.
For the mighty God has done great things for me,
And His mercy will reach from age to age.
And holy, holy, holy is His name.
He has mercy in every generation,
He has revealed His power and His glory.
He has cast down the mighty in their arrogance,
And has lifted up the meek and the lowly.
He has come to help His servant Israel;
He remembered His promise to our fathers.
And holy, holy, holy is His name.
And holy, holy, holy is His name.

SECOND READING — EPHESIANS 3: 7-21
Brian Hathaway
Through the gift God in his goodness bestowed on me by the exercise
of his power, I became a minister of the gospel. To me, the least of all
believers, was given the grace to preach to the Gentiles the
unfathomable riches of Christ and to enlighten all men on the
mysterious design which for ages was hidden in God, the Creator of all.
Now, therefore, through the church, God's-manifold wisdom is made
known to the principalities and powers of heaven, in accord with his
ageold purpose, carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord. In Christ and
through faith in him we can speak freely to God, drawing near him
with confidence. Hence, I beg you not to be disheartened by the trials I
endure for you; they are your glory. That is why I kneel before the
Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name;
and I pray that he will bestow on you gifts in keeping with the riches of
his glory. May he strengthen you inwardly through the working of his
Spirit. May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith, and may charity
be the root and foundation of y0ur life. Thus you will be able to grasp
fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and height and
depth of Christ's love, and experience this love which surpasses all
knowledge, so that you may attain to the fullness of God himself. To
him whose power now at work in us can do immeasurably more than
we ask or imagine — to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
through all generations, world without end. Amen.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL — MATTHEW 18: 2-3
He called a little child over and stood him in their midst and said:
"I assure you, unless you change and become like little children,
you will not enter the kingdom of God.

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
PREPARATION SONG
“Song of Thanksgiving”
Chorus:
Love that's freely given
Wants to freely be received.
All the love you've poured on us
Can hardly be believed.
And all that we can offer you is thanks.
All that we can offer you is thanks.
Creation tells a story
That began so long ago,
Of love that longed to share its life,
In hope that love would grow.
The sun repeats each morning;
The story is retold.
And just in love’s retelling,
New chapters yet unfold.
Chorus
Your care called out a people;
Your love made them your own.
You freed their hearts and calmed their fears;
And finally brought them home.
It's when our trials are ended,
We most easily forget;
But your friendship never ceases,
Your love shows no regret.
Chorus
So now we stand in wonder
Of all your love has done,
To hear your tale and offer thanks,
That we are not alone.
Just fill us with your spirit
To make your people one,
So we can join our story,
To the one told through your son.

COMMUNION HYMNS
“I Am the Bread of Life”
I am the Bread of Life.
You who come to me shall not hunger;
And who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me unless the Father beckons.
Chorus:
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up on the last day.
The bread that I will give
Is my flesh for the life if the world,
And if you eat of this bread,
You shall live forever, you shall live forever.
Chorus
Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His blood,
And drink of His blood, you shall not have life within you.
Chorus
I am the Resurrection,
I am the life.
If you believe in me,
Even though you die, you shall live forever.
Chorus
Yes Lord, we believe
That You are the Christ,
The Son of God,
Who has come into the world.
Chorus

“We Are Called”
Come! Live in the light!
Shine with the joy and the love of the Lord!
We are called to be light for the kingdom,
to live in the freedom of the city of God!
Chorus:
We are called to act with justice.
We are called to love tenderly.
We are called to serve one another,
to walk humbly with God.
Come! Open your heart!
Show your mercy to all those in fear!
We are called to be hope for the hopeless,
so all hatred and blindness will be no more!
Chorus
Sing! Sing a new song!
Sing of that great day when all will be one!
God will reign and we'll walk with each other as sisters
and brothers united in love!

COMMUNION REFLECTION SONG
Written and Sung by Maria Hernandez
“My Prayer”
I pray you'll walk close to me;
When my life is in such obscurity,
Oh, I pray you'll walk with me.
I pray you'll help me believe;
When my blinded heart can't see,
Oh, I pray you'll see for me.
Chorus:
When the rain falls,
When the bird sings,
When a child plays,
For eternity,
In the sunrise,
When the sun sets.
Oh, I hope you'll let me see
The beauty of life you give to me;
During much uncertainty,
Lord, walk with me.
I pray you'll help me heal
When my soul can no longer feel,
Oh, I pray I feel you are near.
Chorus
Oh, I hope you'll let me see
The beauty of life you give to me;
During much uncertainty,
Lord walk with me. (x2)

“Song In Our Hearts”
Thoughts expressed, shared, put to music, and sung
by the St. Louis Church Community.
Here I am, standing strong
As the Lord holds my hand.
Change pinches, fear smothers,
Love will make it whole.
Chorus:
Can we climb the mountain?
Faith awaits for me.
Can we hear the music?
It’s the song in our hearts.
Come to me.
Lord, stay with me.
Be…my everything.
I surrender myself to You.
You are all I need.
Chorus
Lead the way, Lord. Be my rock.
The symphony of my heart
That will sing Your melody,
A love that never drifts apart.
Chorus
Through the seasons of our lives
The Lord walks by our side.
And the tears of the heart
Become the water of life.
A quiet prayer.
Little church.
One…family
Gather together around His table
In peace and harmony.
Chorus
As we have been blessed, may we
always be blessings unto each other;
our children and grandchildren, and all
people whose lives we touch.
