GREETING AND
WELCOME
*CALL TO WORSHIP
May those who love your salvation say
continually, “Great is the Lord!”
Yea, our heart is glad in God, because we
trust in God’s holy name.
Let us
make a joyful noise to God with songs of praise!
We praise you, O God;
we acknowledge you
to be the Lord.
*HYMN UMH 57
O For a
Thousand Tongues to Sing (verses 1,3,5,7) Azmon
*PRAYER in unison
Our heavenly Father,
we
your humble children invoke your blessing on us.
We adore you, whose name is
love,
whose
nature is compassion, whose presence is joy,
whose
Word is truth, whose Spirit is goodness,
whose
holiness is beauty, whose will is peace,
whose
service is perfect freedom,
and
in knowledge of whom stands our eternal life.
Unto you be
all honor and all glory;
through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass 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.
