Call to Worship                                                                                                 Don Dillard

 Welcome to God’s house, a place of faith.

From our homes, we come seeking God’s word.

 

Here you will find nourishment and hope.

May we learn lessons of courage and peace.

 

Here you will find rest from your struggles

Lord, prepare our hearts to receive your words that we may be encouraged and challenged to be your people. AMEN.

  

Hymn                                             “Be Thou My Vision”                                    UMH 451

1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that thou art; Thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

2. Be thou my Wisdom, and thou my true Word; I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, and I thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

3. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise; Thou mine inheritance, now and always; Thou and thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure thou art.

4. High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

(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,
