*Call to Worship
Through God’s power, all is reconciled;
We’re accepted as we are.
Cast aside your doubts and fears.
Peace and love freely offered here;
cast aside your doubts and fears.
*Opening Hymn - “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian” #402
*Opening Prayer
Loving and Hope-filled God,
we ask you to stay close in our lives
as we move into an unknown future.
Wrap us in your love, and invite us
to go and do likewise–to “do unto others” in ways that build up
your kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven.
We pray this in the name of Jesus, the Center That Holds,
and in the power of the Spirit That Transforms. Amen.
