enjoy each other’s company in the narthex or in the sanctuary, yet be respectful of the quiet others
appreciate. Thank you for turning off/silencing cell phones. Our ushers are prepared to assist you in any
way. Welcome!
* You are invited to stand as you are able.
Prelude
Please take this time to write any prayer requests you may have on the prayer cards in the pews. They
will be received during the offering and shared during Prayers of the People.
Greeting: The Lord be with you! And also with you!
* Call to Worship Leader: Holy, loving Creator of all, the heavens declare your goodness each day and
the night proclaim your love.
All: You call us to witness to your power and grace.
Leader: You give us mouths to sing your praises, hands and feet to do your will.
All: You call us to proclaim the good news of your reign.
Leader: We yearn to become your people, the body of Christ, living for the sake of the
world.
All: Let us worship the God who calls us.
* Opening Hymn Christ For the World We Sing #568
* Opening Prayer
Surprising, sustaining Giver of grace, you make us part of your holy body, awakening
us with glimpses of your glory. You allow us to see shadows of your astonishing
beauty in the deep, bright blue of the winter sky. Your frosty breath leaves sheets of
shimmering ice on windshields and doorsteps. You make our words write trails of
steam in the crisp morning air. You invite us into your very breath as the Holy Spirit
breaths us into awareness of your loving presence. In our prayers, in our songs, and
in our silence, teach us how to be your holy body, to bring good news to a world that
yearns for you, we pray. Amen.
