*CALL TO WORSHIP (Responsive) L: Leader/P:People

L: We gather in your presence, O God, and seek the fullness of your promises. Where we have been weak, grant us your strength. P: Where we have been confused, grant us your guidance. L: Where we have been distraught, grant us your comfort. P: Where we have been dead, grant us your life. L: Apart from you, O Lord, we are nothing, P: in and with you we can do all things.

*HYMN BCH No. 400/Screen Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing *OPENING PRAYER Lord God, we have come to worship you as sinners in need of your forgiveness. We come tired from our work, in need of refreshment and re-creation. We come with worries, in need of your guidance. But first, please lift us out of our preoccupation with our own needs. Allow us to see you with the eyes of faith, and to hear with the ears of understanding what you say to us. Make us thankful for all the good we have received from you. Awaken in us a longing to do what is right. And make us aware of the great company, past, present, and to come, with whom we join to worship you. Amen.

*RESPONSE (Screen) O Lord, You’re Beautiful
