Call To Worship

One:   In our lives

All:    Open our hearts, that we might love. 

One:   In our homes

All:    Open our minds, that we might grow.

One:   In our church

All:    Open our doors, that we might gather.

One:   And in this room

All:    Open our spirits, that we might worship.  Amen.

*Lord’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 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.
