Opening Psalm
Psalm
22:1-15
*Call to Worship
God, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of
Israel.
In you
our ancestors trusted; they trusted you, and you delivered them.
To you they cried, and they were saved; in you
they trusted and were not put to shame.
God,
you are holy. All praise to you, now and forever!
*Hymn “The
God of Abraham Praise” #116
*Opening Prayer
Listening God, hear your church today as
we bring our joys and our concerns, our thanksgivings and our demands. Fill us
with the assurance that you truly hear our words and thoughts, our songs and
our tears. In the name of the one who always shows us the way, Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.

Live So God Can Use Me” (vs. 4) #2153

We have taken for granted the things that you
have granted us,
The wonders of the world and
the beauties of the earth.
OH LORD, HELP US BE MORE AWARE.
We have over-looked the miracles that daily have
surrounded us,
The love of friends and family
who comfort us from birth.
OH LORD, HELP US BE MORE AWARE.
We have failed to see with-in ourselves the
glories that your hands have made,
The greatness of creation and
our God given worth.
OH LORD, HELP US BE MORE AWARE.
-Offering our prayers-
You are invited to share your prayer concerns
by writing them on the Prayer Request cards and placing them in the offering

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.
