Call to Celebration
Calling all children of the Living God.
Let us worship together, the young and the old.
The good news is proclaimed in God’s words, and also with sharpened pencils, pointy crayons, and crisp blank pages waiting to be filled.
Let us worship together, every generation.
We come together with different abilities and disabilities, learning in a rainbow of ways and style.
Let us worship together, with our family of faith.
All are welcome in the arms of Christ who proclaimed, “Let the children come!”
Let us worship together, united in our love.
Amen
Offertory
God of Love, thank you for this place where we can celebrate. Help us remember to be an awesome friend and offer a paw wherever needed. Amen

Scripture Lesson
Mark 10:13-16
(Modern English Version)13 They brought young children to Him, that He might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was very displeased and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it.” 16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.
