Call to Worship                                                                                          Robert Graham

We have gathered from our different places to worship here.

How good it is to worship together in unity!

 

We come from our different occupations, our diverse activities.

How good it is to worship together in unity!

 

We come as unique individuals, bound together in the love of Christ.

How good it is to worship together in unity!

 

Hymn                                                We Shall Overcome                                     UMH 533

We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome someday

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome some day

 

We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand someday.

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome some day

 

We shall all be free, We shall all be free, We shall all be free someday.

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome some day

We shall live in peace. We shall live in peace. We shall live in peace. 
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome some day.

 

The Lord will see us through. The Lord will see us through. The Lord will see us through.

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome some day.

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
