Call to Worship                                                                              Janet Hamilton-Petersen

I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise,

I give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

 

On the day I called, you answered me, 

You increased my strength of soul.

 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, 

You preserve me; you stretch out your hand, and you deliver me.

 

Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. 

Do not forsake the work of your hands.

Hymn                                      “One Bread, One Body”                               UMH 620

One bread, one body, one Lord of all, One cup of blessing which we bless.

And we, though many, throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord.

Gentile or Jew, Servant or free, Woman or man, No more.

One bread, one body, one Lord of all, One cup of blessing which we bless.

And we, though many, throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord.

Many the gifts, many the works, one in the Lord, of all. One bread, one body, one Lord of all, One cup of blessing which we bless

And we, though many, throughout the earth, We are one body in this one Lord.

We are one body in this one Lord. Grain for the fields, scattered and grown, gathered to one, for all

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
