Prelude Voluntary on “We Gather Together” Gordon Young
Prayer of Thanksgiving Dylan Rigg
Gracious God, your gifts of love and abundance are all around us. Thank you for showering us with so many blessings: your beautiful earth filled with daily miracles, food and drink to sustain and strengthen us, shelter and clothing to protect and warm us, friends and family to love and nurture us, work and play to fill our days’ joy and purpose, the journey of faith that calls our lives into deeper meaning and spiritual growth. For these and the many gifts of our lives and our world, we give you thanks and praise. Amen.
Choral Introit Eleanor Daley “My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord”
