Welcome and Announcements

Entering Into Worship

*Choral Introit “Let My Love for Jesus Be My Song” Choir

*Call to Worship

God of love, we confess that our silence is noisy, our minds filled with

distracting chatter, our thoughts focused on problems and our lives

bombarded with temptations. How hard we find it to be still and rest

in your holy and healing presence. God of love, teach us in this hour the

words to pray and the silences to keep. Quiet the tempests within us that

we may hear you. In Your name, Amen.

*Hymn “The Gift of Love” #408

*Opening Prayer

A Time of Prayer

Joys and Concerns

Silent Prayer / Pastoral Prayer / 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 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.

*Doxology “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow” #94

*Offering Prayer

Eternal God, your servant Paul reminded us that no amount of noise we can make,

no profound wisdom or vision we can share, no amount of money we can give means

anything in your sight unless it comes forth out of love. Any offering that comes out of

self-promotion, arrogance, or unkindness – not rooted in love – is a wasted effort. We

pray you would receive these gifts we give this morning as ones that come from our

hearts, Lord; hearts full of faith, hearts full of hope, and hearts full of love for you and

for those around us. We pray this in the Holy name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.
