1
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.190
Those of sonship.
2
00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:09.390
And bring the fatted calf and kill it
3
00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:11.780
and let us eat and make merry.
4
00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:16.780
For this my son was dead and is alive again.
5
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:23.401
He was lost and is found.
6
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.871
And they began to make merry.
7
00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:42.131
What words of hope and joy for us.
8
00:00:42.131 --> 00:00:45.139
To know that whenever you
9
00:00:45.139 --> 00:00:49.180
and I wander from God's love,
10
00:00:49.180 --> 00:00:52.786
God welcomes us back,
11
00:00:52.786 --> 00:00:55.910
forgives us,
12
00:00:55.910 --> 00:00:59.260
and rejoices that we have turned around
13
00:00:59.260 --> 00:01:04.028
and come home again.
14
00:01:05.196 --> 00:01:10.196
God's promise of forgiveness gives comfort to us.
15
00:01:11.814 --> 00:01:15.306
A prodigal can return home,
16
00:01:15.306 --> 00:01:19.575
and will be welcomed as a son,
17
00:01:19.575 --> 00:01:24.390
as a daughter.
18
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:30.588
The story of the elder son is challenging.
19
00:01:32.742 --> 00:01:37.742
When other prodigals return home,
20
00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:42.893
will you withhold your presence in anger and envy?
21
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.736
Or will you come inside and join in the merry making?
22
00:01:51.430 --> 00:01:56.375
Join in the celebration of resurrection and new life.
23
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.478
For this your brother,
24
00:02:02.478 --> 00:02:05.095
your sister,
25
00:02:05.095 --> 00:02:10.086
was dead and is alive.
26
00:02:11.350 --> 00:02:16.270
Was lost and now is found.
27
00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:25.548
Will you join me in prayer?
28
00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:34.670
Most gracious and loving God
29
00:02:34.670 --> 00:02:39.670
who art as a mother and father to each one of us
30
00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:45.435
Send your Holy Spirit upon us this day
31
00:02:46.810 --> 00:02:51.188
that we may each
32
00:02:51.188 --> 00:02:53.310
and all of us together in community,
33
00:02:53.310 --> 00:02:57.906
confess our waywardness and return to you.
34
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:04.505
Help us to know that you wait to be present for us
35
00:03:05.598 --> 00:03:10.349
and that you are always willing to forgive.
36
00:03:11.690 --> 00:03:16.690
Grant that we may be people of compassion
37
00:03:17.389 --> 00:03:19.150
and that we may make merry
38
00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:23.898
when a sister or brother returns home again.
39
00:03:25.602 --> 00:03:30.602
In the name and in the power of Jesus Christ we pray.
40
00:03:30.883 --> 00:03:33.491
Amen.
41
00:03:37.918 --> 00:03:41.001
(bright organ music)
42
00:04:05.807 --> 00:04:09.890
(organ music drowns out singing)
43
00:06:36.950 --> 00:06:39.003
The Lord be with you.
44
00:06:39.003 --> 00:06:40.630
And also with you.
45
00:06:40.630 --> 00:06:41.463
Let us pray.
46
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.770
Our kind and gracious God
47
00:07:00.130 --> 00:07:02.020
the hope of all who seek thee
48
00:07:02.020 --> 00:07:04.173
and the joy of all who find.
49
00:07:05.790 --> 00:07:09.293
As we bow in reverence before thy infinite majesty,
50
00:07:10.340 --> 00:07:12.070
lead us into the blessedness
51
00:07:12.070 --> 00:07:14.313
of the mystery of communion with thee.
52
00:07:15.630 --> 00:07:20.380
Bestow upon us the peace which quiets every misgiving
53
00:07:20.380 --> 00:07:24.983
and the trust which fills the soul with joy and gladness.
54
00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:28.660
Hear now these prayers for others, O God
55
00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:30.530
which we lift up onto thee.
56
00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:35.103
Let us pray for peace in our world,
57
00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:38.143
for the people of South Africa,
58
00:07:39.030 --> 00:07:42.223
Central America, Afghanistan,
59
00:07:43.090 --> 00:07:47.240
Lebanon, Northern Ireland, Libya,
60
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.700
and the United States.
61
00:07:49.700 --> 00:07:52.090
Bestow upon the leaders of these nations
62
00:07:52.090 --> 00:07:55.678
and all other nations the wisdom to rule justly
63
00:07:55.678 --> 00:07:59.053
and the courage to do so with compassion.
64
00:08:01.070 --> 00:08:03.953
Let us pray for the sick and the afflicted.
65
00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:09.900
For those suffering from chronic or terminal disease,
66
00:08:09.900 --> 00:08:11.880
from mental illness,
67
00:08:11.880 --> 00:08:13.513
and the problems of aging.
68
00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:18.780
Provide for them homes of dignity and peace.
69
00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:21.960
Grant those who seek to care for them
70
00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:24.290
the necessary skills and energy
71
00:08:25.344 --> 00:08:28.072
and the patience to carry out their task
72
00:08:28.072 --> 00:08:32.233
in a manner that heals the spirit, if not the body.
73
00:08:33.910 --> 00:08:38.670
Let us pray for all victims of violence and their families,
74
00:08:38.670 --> 00:08:41.473
both in our own communities and throughout the world.
75
00:08:42.930 --> 00:08:46.620
Increase our understanding of the causes of violence
76
00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:51.510
and enable us still to love those who inflict it upon others
77
00:08:51.510 --> 00:08:54.273
even in its most abhorrent forms.
78
00:08:55.792 --> 00:08:59.683
Let us pray for the right use of thy gifts, O God.
79
00:09:01.050 --> 00:09:04.410
Thou hast given all that we possess
80
00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:07.970
including precious natural resources.
81
00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:10.600
Grant us grace that we may honor thee
82
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.333
by being faithful stewards of thy bounty.
83
00:09:15.530 --> 00:09:18.719
We lift these prayers unto thee, O God,
84
00:09:18.719 --> 00:09:22.562
reassured that thou has searched us
85
00:09:22.562 --> 00:09:26.183
and known us and lovest us still.
86
00:09:27.630 --> 00:09:30.410
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.
87
00:09:30.410 --> 00:09:31.243
Amen.
88
00:09:34.350 --> 00:09:36.490
And now in the spirit of Thanksgiving
89
00:09:36.490 --> 00:09:38.550
for all that God has done,
90
00:09:38.550 --> 00:09:41.957
let us offer our gifts and ourselves unto God.

Almighty and most merciful God
122
00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:12.210
from whom cometh every good and perfect gift,
123
00:20:12.210 --> 00:20:16.000
we give thee thanks and praise for all thy mercies,

This we pray in the name of Jesus Christ
132
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.840
who taught us to pray with confidence.
133
00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:44.760
Our Father who art in Heaven
134
00:20:44.760 --> 00:20:46.910
Hallowed be thy name

Thy will be done

on Earth as it is in Heaven.
138
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.940
Give us this day our daily bread,
139
00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:58.470
and forgive us our trespasses
140
00:20:58.470 --> 00:21:02.190
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
141
00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:04.860
and lead us not into temptation
142
00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:06.900
but deliver us from evil,
143
00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:08.760
for thine is the kingdom,
144
00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:12.500
