WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Call to Worship

L: The Lord is my light and salvation; whom then shall I fear?

P: The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

L: One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing do I seek:

P: That I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life.

L: Let us worship God

 

Prayer (in unison)

Eternal God, we came to worship You in the Name and Spirit of Jesus:

-to make our wills one with Yours;

-to abandon our selfish, and lovely way of life, for one of solemn communion with You;

-to put an end to our sinning, by welcoming Your Divine Presence into our hearts and lives.

May this hour of worship bring us so close to You, that: someone’s sorrow may be lessened;

Someone’s burden may be lightened;

Someone’s temptation may be conquered;

Someone’s spiritual life may be renewed.

We pray in, and through, the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen
