*Call to Worship
Praise
the Lord!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
Sing
praises to God,
who
made heaven and earth,
who is faithful forever,
who
gives justice to the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry,
who
sets the prisoners free,
who watches over the stranger,
who
cares for widows and orphans.
The
Lord will reign forever.
Praise the Lord!

Tongues to Sing” #57
*Opening Prayer
Great God of love, we praise you for you
wash away the dust of death, you kiss away the shame
of sin, and anoint us with your Holy Spirit. Pour out your blessing in this
place, and let your grace flow through our lives as we spread the news of your
saving love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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.
