New guidelines from NH state officials and a discussion with our gathered congregation on Father’s Day indicated that fully vaccinated people can worship unmasked. Those who wish to continue to mask, distance, to meet their unique needs may do so without judgement. Masks and hand sanitizer will still be available. Individual communion packets, spaced seating, and stationary offering plates will still be used.
Please stay home if you have flu-like symptoms or have a fever

Invocation
When in vain pretensions we conspire, to shape God’s image in our own,
listen to God’s voice above your low desires. God, you are the sculptor.
We are the broken stone.

Confession (responsively)
Leader: What if our sins are not partially paid for because they are forgiven?
People: They can’t be both.
Leader: What if God just plain loves everybody
People: And breathes the spirit of love into each of us,
Leader: So that all of us, broken as we are,
People: Can grow in love and keep growing?
Leader: Sanctification is falling in love with God.
People: What would being entirely sanctified mean?
Leader: We finish falling in love with God?
People: We’re done drawing closer, growing deeper?
Leader: We stop exploring, learning, wondering,
People: Letting go, and turning to God?
Leader: It sounds like something frozen,
People: Kind of like hell.
Leader: What if loving God is so infinite,
People: That we can never finish growing in it.
Leader: What if all there is to life, and after life,
People: Is growing in love.
