PRELUDE
GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
*CALL TO WORSHIP Responsive
The time has come for us to worship Almighty God.
With heart, soul, mind, and strength, we praise our Maker and Keeper.
May we listen with ears and hearts open
We will worship this day with the expectation that God has word for us.
*HYMN “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” No. 89
CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Unison
Gracious God, we worship you and call ourselves your people. You have
shown your love to us in all circumstances. When we have been slow to
respond to that love, you have steadfastly held us. When we sinned and
created barriers between us and you, you sent Jesus to show us the way.
We want to live joyful lives the way Christ did. In the midst of our
worship, give us clues that will help us do that. Amen.

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him
