Call To Worship
Leader: We are called to render our hearts and not our garments for the Lord.
People: For God has been gracious and merciful to us, and slow to anger.
Leader: Then let us seek the Lord that we might know and serve God.
People: But how shall we come before the Lord and what shall we bring?
Leader: Christ has shown us the way; bring only your love, service, and praise!
All: Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Collect
O God, in Your infinite wisdom You have given us the witness of Christ to teach us Your will for our lives. We will stand boldly for You, Lord, and proclaim Your Good News to the world. In Christ we pray. Amen.
Prayer Of Confession
Lord, You call us to be voices for You in today's world. Yet so often we are silent when we should speak out, we are blind when we should see and battle injustice around us, and we are content in the midst of others who are suffering. Forgive us, Lord, and give us the strength and the courage to stand firm and declare Your love through our lives. In Christ we pray. Amen.
Hymns
"O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee"
"There's A Spirit In The Air"
"Take My Life, And Let It Be"
