Welcoming | My Peace | Rev. Bruce Myers |
One: When we stand in the presence of the Holy One, we recognize the ways our lives fall short of the glory of God. But, still, God draws near to us in mercy and in grace. Therefore, with confidence, let us present our whole selves before the Lord. All: Living Lord, in you we live and move and have our being. You call us to give all that we are and all that we have in service to Christ. But we hold tightly to our treasure, afraid we will not have enough for ourselves, and hold back our talents, afraid these gifts will not be enough. God, unclench our fists and help us to give fully and freely so that, in all things, we might serve and glorify you. |

Life of the Church | All Creatures of Our God and King | Elder Kay Chabot |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |
