CALL TO WORSHIP*
We are 10 lepers, with scars and wounds –– and hope

we raise our voices to you.

As we glimpse the grace you pour upon us,
we thank you.

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER
God our Creator and Redeemer, open our eyes to a larger awareness of your goodness,
and our souls to deeper gratitude. Then, uplifted with thanksgiving, may we give
ourselves to unpleasant tasks with good grace, and show irk-some people a good will
such as we offer our best friends. Through Christ Jesus our ever-present Lord.
Amen!

O God, we thank you for blessing us with the gift of children.
May they learn the stories of Jesus. May we share their joy. Amen.
