“I will cause Your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore, the peoples will praise You forever and ever.” – Psalm 45:17 (CEB)

Call to Worship: - posted on the website of Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand

 If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest. This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light. Christ calls us to come to worship, to rest from the things that are troubling us. To learn what Christ can teach of life, to realize what we can offer to others, And return into the world to serve.   Let us worship God.

*Prayer: - written by Thomas Turner and posted on Everyday Liturgy

Our Creator, You sustain all life, give bread to all who need it, and hear the calls of the poor. You alone are powerful and the rightful ruler of the nations, and You are the provider of safety and security. We ask that, as You have graciously provided for us and our needs, may You provide for those who call to You in despair and in dire need. Grant them their daily bread these coming days. Amen.
