Описание: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany

Prelude “We Pray the Holy Spirit Now” Dietrich Buxtehude

Greeting, Gathering and Passing the Peace
This is the day that the Lord has made!
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Introit “Dove of Peace” William Walker
Call to Worship Victoria Odesina
Leader: We come to Christ, who gives living water, that we may never thirst again.
Leader: We come to Christ, that being filled ourselves we may minister to the hunger and thirst of
others.
People: We come to God, in worship and praise, through Jesus Christ, who gives us life.


Gathering Hymn “All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly”

Unison Prayer of Invocation
O Christ, Living Bread, the world offers us plenty to fill our hunger, but it does not satisfy
our need. O Christ, Living Water, the world has an abundance of ways to slake our thirst,
but they do not satisfy our longing. We need you to gather up the broken fragments of our
lives and our communities and make us whole again. Teach us how to abide in you and
share with one another, that we may live to your glory and not draw back in times of testing.
We pray with words you taught us to pray…

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.
