Gathering Hymn “Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound”

Unison Prayer of Invocation
Some days we are all confusion and questions, O God, and some days we are ready to hear and obey. Whatever the state of our hearts and minds today, whatever the situation of our bodies and spirits, open us to receive the good news you have for us, and to share it. We ask in your powerful name, praying together as Jesus taught us….

Our Savior’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 sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
