Call to Worship                                                                                                Pam Rogers

 

Let us enter into the love of the divine, the one who is pursuing each of us; 

Let us enter by the example she has given.

 

Who, though he was in the form of God; 

Did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped.

 

But emptied himself, 

Taking the form of a slave, being found in human likeness

 

And being found in human form, he humbled himself 

And became obedient to death, even death on a cross

 

Hymn                                     “Precious Lord, Take my Hand”                          UMH 474

Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand,

I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night

Lead me on to the light; Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home

 

When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near,

When my life is almost gone, Hear my cry, hear my call,

Hold my hand lest I fall: Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home 

 

When the darkness appears and he light draws near, and the day is past

and gone, at the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand:

Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home

(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
