Call to Worship                                                                                           Heather Cheney

 

Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, 

And I will follow you all of my days.

 

Give me understanding, that I may be attuned to your grace 

And bare witness to you with my whole heart.

 

Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.

Turn my heart to your decrees, and not to selfish gain.

 

Turn my eyes from looking only for self-gain; 

Give me life and lead my actions in your ways of transformative love, Amen.

  

Hymn                                      “Bind Us Together”                                   TFWS 2226

Bind us together, Lord, bind us together
With cords that cannot be broken.
Bind us together, Lord, bind us together, Lord,
Bind us together in love.

There is only one God, there is only one King,
There is only one Body, that is why we sing:

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
