Call to Worship                                                                                              Dorrit White

 

Through the storms of life, O God,

You are with your people

 

In the person of Jesus your Son.

Calm our fears and strengthen our faith

 

That we may never doubt his presence among us

But proclaim the steadfast work of your kin-dom

 

Arise in our hearts as you in Christ have been resurrected

To live out of your abiding, encouraging, everlasting peace oh Lord. 

 

Hymn                                                  “Here I Am, Lord”                       UMH 593

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin, my hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

Chorus:
Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people's pain.
I have wept for love of them. They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them. Whom shall I send? Chorus

I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will send the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide, ‘til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send? Chorus

(Praying for what was shared on FB Live)

  

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.
