*CALL TO WORSHIP Responsive
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our songs shall
rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty. God in three persons, blessed
Trinity.
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea.
Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee; perfect in power and love.

OPENING PRAYER Unison
God of all times and all places, we worship you this day because we love
and believe in you. When things were dreary, you brightened the way.
When things were sad, you offered consolation. When the way seemed
hidden, you opened the eyes of your people and pointed us in the right
direction. We trust you to care for us and to use us to do your bidding.
While we worship this day, we will listen for your voice. Speak to us, we
pray. Amen.
