All our unspoken prayer concerns…
Requesting a Pastoral Visit
If you are seeking a pastoral visit, or if you know someone in need of a
pastoral visit, please contact the church office. Perhaps you are shut-in

Michael aware of your needs.

• Hymn #2272 (in supplement): “Holy Ground”
We are standing on holy ground, and I know that there are angels all around: let us praise
Jesus now; we are standing in his presence on holy ground.
• Call to Worship
Psalm 66:8-12
Jenna Roth
L: Bless our God, O peoples,
let the sound of God’s praise be heard,
who has kept us among the living,
and has not let our feet slip.
P: For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
L: You brought us into the net;
you laid affliction on our loins;
P: you let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us forth to a spacious place.
Hymn #152: “I Sing the Almighty Power of God”

A Time for Prayer
O let the Son of God enfold you with his Spirit and his love.
Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
O let him have the things that hold you and
His spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you whole.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs. (CCLI#1592322)

“El-Shaddai”
Jenna Roth
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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

“A Closing Prayer”
The time has come, O Lord, for us to leave this place;
guide us and protect us and lead us in thy grace.
Wherever life may take us as we go our sep’rate ways,
help us share with others the things we’ve shared today.
May the peace of God the Father, and the love of Christ, His Son,
guide us in the days ahead and strengthen us, each one.
May the blessings of the spirit fill us from within;
God bless us and return us to this fellowship once again.
