*CALL TO WORSHIP 1 Wayne Voss
Leader: Call to us, O Lord, and ask us to come to you.
People: We
come without fear, even though we do not know what the future holds for us.
Leader: Give us courage and strength to be your disciples.
People: Help us
reach out to all those in need.
Leader: Lord, we will come and follow you all of our days.
People: Be
present with us, O Lord, and inspire our steps in your service. Amen.
*HYMN ÒGlorious Is Thy Name, Most HolyÓ #51
*PRAYER1
Gracious and loving God, come to us in our fears and frustrations. We feel unable to serve and often beaten down by life. Give us courage and strength and help us joyfully serve you by serving others. In JesusÕ Name, we pray. Amen.
*PASSING THE PEACE
Jesus says, as I have loved you, love one another.
As we offer care and compassion to one another, in the name of Jesus, we offer it to Him.
Offering care and compassion is a step toward the peace Jesus offered. May his love be made known among us as we share GodÕs peace with each other.
(All are invited to greet others with
handshakes or hugs while saying to them "The
peace of Christ be with you" and responding "and also with you.")
