Glade Matters

Shared moments of information and inspiration about our church family

Prelude “Ave Maria” Bach/Gounod (Bonnie Clowes, Soprano)

*Processional Hymn “I Sing the Mighty Power of God” #12

*Call to Worship

L: You are the One for whom we search, O God,

P: and we worship you because you have found us. L: You are the hope for which we yearn, O Christ,

P: and so we follow you to serve at your side. L: You are the peace which can calm us, Holy Spirit,

P: and so we open our brokenness so you might fill us

*Prayer of Invocation (Unison)

All mighty and ever forgiving God, we may long to be in your house, but our

deeds show how tough it is for us to live there. Called to follow, we search for

paths to take us back to our old ways; given the words of eternal life, we weakly

proclaim the gospel to others; offered the path of salvation to walk upon, we

stumble down the rocky roads of our world.

Forgive us, all loving God, Strengthen us with your Spirit, so we may serve your

people with all that brings them life. Let your Word, Jesus Christ, the One we

have come to believe and know is our Lord and Savior, be confirmed in us in

every word, every deed, every thought, every moment in the days to come. Amen

Time With Children

Scripture Reading Psalm 22:1-5 Hebrews 4:14-16 and Matthew 14:1-32

L: The Word of God for the people of God.

P: Thanks be to God!

Special Music “Laudate Dominum” W.A. Mozart (Bonnie Clowes, Soprano)

Silent Prayer

Prayer

The Prayer Jesus taught Us

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,

forever. Amen.

WE GIVE OURSELVES TO GOD’S WILL AND CARE
