Preparation for Worship
Let us join together now and prepare for worship.
Dear Family of God – these are trying days in God’s beloved world.
As Christ’s Church, sustained by the Holy Spirit, we have gifts and a call by which to care for one another and our neighbors. Worship in which we encounter our living God and know ourselves connected to the body continues. So this day we expand our worship into our homes, knowing that as we read the same Scriptures, and share in the same prayers, we are held together on this Sunday morning.
Let us prepare our hearts and minds to worship the living Lord.

Prayer of the Day
O God,
light of the minds that know you, life of the souls that love you,
strength of the thoughts that seek you:
Help us so to know you that we may truly love you,
so to love you that we may fully serve you,
whose service is perfect freedom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen.

The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.

power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life.
Amen.

Prayers of the People
(Prayer adapted from A New Zealand Prayer Book)
Heavenly Father, hear us as we pray for the unity of the Church. May we all be one that the world
may believe. Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you, that the life
of Christ may be revealed in us. Have compassion on those who suffer from sickness, grief or
trouble. In your presence may they find strength. Look with your kindness on our homes and
families. Grant that your love may grow in our hearts. Make us alive to the needs of our
community. Help us to share one another’s joys and burdens. Inspire and lead those who hold
authority in the nations of the world. Guide us and all people in the way of justice and peace. Give
us courage to proclaim your Gospel. We pray in silence for our own needs…
Praise to you, abundant God, for when we ask, you give; when we seek, you show the way. When
we knock, you answer. Praise to you for your unfailing grace. Make us now your faithful people.
Amen.
As Christ teaches us we pray …
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Offering
Please continue to give your offering.
God calls us to give all of who we are, and all of what we have to be used in and thru the Church. So let us present our lives. Let us present our gifts unto God. (Offerings can be received in the church by mail or you may utilize online banking options).
