Welcome & Announcements

*Call to Worship (by Joanna Harader on Spacious Faith)

Holy One, as we gather this morning to worship you, may we speak truth, so that our words may give grace to those who hear. May we pray in faith, so that our words may give grace to those who hear. May we sing with joy, so that our words may give grace to those who hear. May we listen with open minds and receptive hearts, so that Your words may give grace to us who hear. Amen.

*Hymn: “My Faith Looks Up to Thee," #452

Prayer: O God our Father, we thank You that today You have called us to worship You and learn of You. You alone know our needs. Satisfy them with Your unchanging love. In Your presence may we find comfort in sorrow, guidance in perplexity, strength to meet temptation, grace to overcome the fascination of disobedience, and courage to face up to the hostility of this rebellious world. Above all, may we meet Jesus and go out from our worship indwelt by His spirit. This prayer we ask to Your glory and in His name. Amen.
