Welcome & Announcements
*Call to Worship – (from the Church of Scotland)
Almighty God, You have built Your Church on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone. Join us together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may become a holy temple, acceptable to You: Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
*Hymn: “To God Be the Glory,” #98
*Prayer (from Liturgies Alive: Models of Celebrations website)
Let us pray that the Lord may guide our world. Lord, mighty God, You lead the world and all humanity to their destiny in You. Give to the leaders of the world and of our country a vision of the future that is both imaginative and realistic, and respectful of human rights and dignity. Help us to bear witness in everyday life to the values of the Gospel and to be involved in the work of freedom, integrity, and justice. May we thus build up a community that foreshadows our heavenly homeland. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
