GATHERING & ADORATION

PRELUDE “Here I am to Worship”

WELCOME

*CALL TO WORSHIP (Based on Psalm 78: 1-4, 12-16. Provided by re:Worship, Joan Stott)

We come to worship and praise our God,
and to learn more about the wonders of our God.
How great and wonderful is our Compassionate God.

We come, with ears and hearts open to God,
ready to discover more of God’s mysteries and miracles.
How generous and caring is our Unchanging God.

We gather to share together in our common history,
and to experience the enrichment which that brings us.
All praise and honor to God for past and present
blessings, and for God’s merciful love and grace. Amen.

*SING TO THE LORD “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,” Worshipbook #61

*PRAYER W/THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us; and lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
