We have come to worship God, the living God, Who calls prophets and teachers to bear witness.

We have come to praise God, the almighty God, Who answers the forces of hatred and hurt with the power of grace.

We have come to worship God, the all-gracious God, Who chooses even you and me, to receive and carry the Word of life and hope. All glory to God! Amen CH4: 251 I the Lord of Sea and Sky

The Offering will be uplifted: Prayers of Approach, Dedication and the Lord’s Prayer: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever. Amen.
