*Hymn No. 545 He Leadeth Me: O Blessed Thought!
*Opening Prayer (Unison)
O God, we come as a grateful people - - grateful that You transcend
the small and large anxieties of our lives. Empower us to transcend them, too. And when our values collide? Grant that we would seek Your face,
that we would hear Your “still small voice” speaking to us, even in the moments of our deepest uncertainty. As the hymn says, Lord,“Be Thou Our Guide While Life Shall Last.” We pray in Jesus’ Name.Amen.
*Response No. 35 Gloria Patri
Pastoral prayer ~ silent prayer
Our lord’s prayer
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Response No. 593 Lead Me, Lord
Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness, make thy way plain before my face. For it is thou, Lord, thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
