This Sunday has one of the most well-loved parables in the Gospel readings. The story of the prodigal son rings true to all Christians. All have fallen short of the glory of God. For the opening song, “send Your grace” (CCLI # 4957278) is a good gathering song. “the Lord is my shepherd” (CCLI # 4957333) in conjunction with “show me the way” (CCLI # 4957292) could make a powerful medley at Communion. Another communion suggestion would be “Your love” (CCLI # 4957388) which speaks of God’s steadfast love. Lastly, “everyday” (CCLI # 4956846) would be a great recessional.
