Meditative Reflection
When I go down to the grave I can say, like so many others, I have finished my work; but I cannot say I have finished my life. My day’s work will begin the next morning. My tomb is not a blind alley. It is a thoroughfare. It closes in the twilight to open to the dawn.
– Victor Hugo
Ringing of the Church Bell
Prelude Daniel Rufolo, pianist
Call to Worship
 
Leader:  In vain, O God, we have sought satisfaction in the things of space and time.
People:  Now we come to seek fulfillment in your acts of mercy and grace.
Leader:  Jesus said, “I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”
All:  We come to you, Lord, give us to eat. We believe in you, Lord; give us to drink.
