*Call to Worship

One: How manifold are your works, O Lord!

All: In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

One: You send forth your spirit, and they are created;

All: and so you renew the face of the earth.

One: I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;

All: I will praise my God while I have my being.

*Opening Prayer

Holy God, who comes to us in breath, visits us from the throne of heaven, and sets us aflame with amazement and joy, you open our paths to new visions and guide our feet deeper into your wisdom.

Give us faith to trust your presence, through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

*Chorus “Surely the Presence of the Lord Is in This Place” #328

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. I can feel God's mighty power and God's grace.

I can hear the brush of angel's wings, I see glory on each face.

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
