Welcome & Announcements
*Call to Worship (Joanna Harader and posted on Spacious Faith)
Holy One, dwell within us. Whisper in our ears; Glimmer in our vision; Write upon our hearts. We wait with open ears, open eyes, and open hearts. Amen.
*Hymn: “Wonderful Words of Life,” #600
*Prayer (Rev. Erin Counihan, Oak Hill Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, MO)
Your Word is a lamp to my feet, Lord. Your Word is a light to my path. Though the world around me tosses and tumbles, I hold fast to You. Though I have doubts and worries and I wonder, I hold fast to You. Though my heart hurts, my spirit aches, and I lose my way, I hold fast to You. Though I encounter wickedness and hate seemingly around every corner, I hold fast to You. Your stories and Your songs, O Lord - They comfort me. Your will and Your way, O Lord - They nudge me along. Your presence and your promise, O Lord - They give me hope. Your world is my heritage and my heart. And I will turn toward You forever. I will hold fast to You. And I will sing praises to Your name. Amen!
