Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Special Music | Pastor Bill Johnson |
Lord, in the words of the Psalmist, “Open our ears, that we may hear your voice of truth.” Open our eyes that we may see your truth. Open our hearts and minds that we might believe your truth. Help us to go and tell as did the Samaritan woman that all who hear may believe. Forgive us when we fail to share your love given in Jesus Christ. Thank you for your loving mercy, grace and forgiveness that brings us new life in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. |

Prelude | “Bless His Holy Name” | Praise band |
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. |
||
Pastoral Greeting | “Be Exalted, O God” | Pastor Bill Johnson |
We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the Church. In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, and to work with others for justice, freedom and peace. |
