Call to Worship                                                                                     Alice Montgomery 

Though the storm clouds of doubt and fear threaten to overcome us

God leads us into ways of peace.

 

When the darkness of war and the deep pit of anger reach toward us

God lifts and carries us through the darkness with hope and light.

 

Lord of hope and life, be with us today.

God of mercy and peace, lead our lives. AMEN.

  

Hymn                                         “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”                  UMH 133

 

1. What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Refrain:
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

2. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain)

3. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain)

Prayer Practices/Prayers of the People                                                 Alice Montgomery

 (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.
