PRELUDE
*CALL TO WORSHIP adapted from Jeremiah 1 Leader: Hear these words from the Lord: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and anointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
People: Jeremiah responded, “I can’t speak for you, Lord! I’m too
young.”
Leader: And God encouraged the young prophet to use his voice and
his youth to proclaim the goodness of our God.
People: May we hear God’s call to us as we come into God’s presence.
May our excuses for complacency be dispelled.
Leader: Let us get up and prepare for action!
People: For God is with us. God will take care of us as we proclaim the
good news of hope and life.
*OPENING HYMN “Christ for the World We Sing” #568
PASTORAL PRAYER AND 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 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.
