OPENING SONGS: “Thy Word” and “Do Lord”
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER:
Holy and righteous God, we come into this sanctuary to remember who you are and who we are before you. You formed us from the dust, and one day we’ll return to dust. Until then, every day is a gift. Teach us to use our time well. Make us good stewards of your world and your mysteries.
Shape us into people who do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with you. In the middle of our work, our worries, and our responsibilities, turn our hearts toward you. Give us courage to obey you with joy. When we stumble, lift us up again. Let our lives bear fruit that lasts and keep our hope set on the life that never ends. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
