PRELUDE “Fairest Lord Jesus” Arr. Mark Hayes
INTROIT “Fill My Cup, Lord” No. 641
CALL TO WORSHIP*
As we gather and as we disperse, as we rise and as we sleep, as we eat and play and
work,
We offer God praise.
As we wash our car, scrub the dishes, rinse the grime of the day from our hands,
We offer God praise.
As we feel the tips of the grass on our feet, the wind against our face, the sun on our
backs,
We offer God praise.
Come, let us worship God who creates, redeems, and sustains us to live out our praise
in all we do!
We come as people formed by grace to offer God praise with our whole selves now
and in all the ordinary moments of our lives! Amen.
OPENING HYMN* “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” No. 277
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER
Awesome and majestic God, your creative power, your glory and holiness
were experienced by your people of old as clouds and fire guiding them to freedom.
How blessed are we, for you have revealed your face to us in Jesus—
the human face of your love. You also equip us for our journey through life and beyond,
by breathing new and everlasting life into our very beings, through the gift of the Holy
Spirit. We praise and adore you, O God, for making our lives so special, by choosing to
share your life with us in and through Jesus.
May this time of worship and the service of our lives
reveal our thanksgiving and our wonder that you should so care for us.
This we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
