HOLY HOWDY GREETING
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
He will watch over your life.

Today’s strength for today’s need. You light our ways, you guide our steps, and you fight out battles. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

OPENING PRAYER Unison
Gracious God, remind us that Your love never loses sight of us and Your hand is always strong enough to hold us. Open our hearts to the lost, distant or forgotten. Amen.
READING OF THE PSALMS: Psalm 139:7-10
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

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