Call to Worship – #2164 FWS – Sanctuary
Opening Prayer (Unison): Father God, Help us to remember that you hold us in the palm of your hand. Help us to know that you are always calling us to let go of all that hinders and harms us. Open our hearts to your prompting, your presence, your grace and mercy. Help us to put our trust in you, to let go of all that is keeping us from being the persons you have created and called us to be. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
