That we may receive
a rich blessing, life
that which is offered for us
so were the words read aloud
the words I shared with the
congregation
centering us, calling us
into worship
into that state of readiness
to be open to what was to
come
A message of hope, a kinship
with those
disciples who have called
upon the Lord
those who have believed, who
have trusted
who have acted on their call
Gaining an insight into God
on the way of a servant
the walk of a believer,
following Christ
A story of revelation
of the love of God
through the sending of his
son
of the healing he performed
while he walked the earth
A telling of the legacy
of the work that is yet to
be done
our place in the story
of our faith, of our journey
and his coming yet to come

The Call into Worship – v2

The Call into Worship
I served as Liturgist
Call to Worship:
Let us praise
God, the creator of heaven and Earth.
Let us seek God
with open minds and open hearts.
May we feel the
Holy spirit among us.
As the Scriptures
are read and the Word proclaimed,
as prayers and
music are offered, may we receive with
joy and thanksgiving what is offered for us.
Unison Prayer:
Almighty God, to
you all hearts are open, all
desires known,
and from you no secrets are
hidden. Cleanse
the thoughts of our hearts by the
inspiration of
your Holy Spirit, that we may love
you with our
whole self, and worthily praise your
holy name.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Luke 7:17-22
Prayer of Dedication:
Loving God, the
giver of all that is good; our lives
are blessed daily
by your gifts. Help us to receive
your gifts with
such gratitude, that we will be giving,
as you are to us.
We pray that through us the whole
world will know
the gift of your generous love in
Jesus Christ, the
one who gave his life for us, and for
the whole world.
Acts 3:1-8
