GATHERING
Prelude
Greeting & Announcements PREPARING FOR WORSHIP
+Call to Worship Leader: Bless our God, O peoples, People: let the sound of his praise be heard,
Leader: who has kept us among the living, People: and has not let our feet slip.
+Invocation
We thank you, God, for the gift of life and the joy we find in living it—its good times and bad times, its sunny days and dark, all of its ups and downs. We come today with our heavy load of uncertainty and confusion, sins and failures, concerns and troubles, to rest ourselves in your presence. Help us to relax and to leave our heavy loads with you, who are able to bear them all with so much more strength. Help us to turn from anxiety to thanksgiving, from insecurity to confidence, from helplessness to strength, from despair to hope, from inner turmoil to peace of mind, and from distress to joy. Forgive us for our lack of faith, which causes us so much misery and which maximizes all our difficulties. Let all our problems and doubts find their solution in the death of our Lord Jesus Christ upon Calvary, in his resurrection from the grave, and in the eternal joy of life in your kingdom, which shall endure forever and ever. Amen. +Hymn of Praise “Spirit of the Living God” #393 UMH Sharing God's Peace PROCLAMATION AND RESPONSE
