Call to Worship
Leader: Sing praises to God, O you saints, and give thanks to God’s holy name!
People: We exalt you, O God, for you have restored us to life!
Leader: We may cry through the night, but your joy comes with the morning.
People: You hear us, O God, and you are gracious in our distress.
Leader: You turn our mourning into dancing!
People: Our souls cannot be silent!
ALL: O God, our Savior, we give thanks to you forever!
Opening Prayer – (Unison) – O God, just as we look into a mirror to see any soiled spots on our face, so let us look to you in order to understand the things that we have done amiss. We are like a reed shaken in the wind; we are inexpressibly weak. Leave us not to ourselves, but dwell in our hearts and guide our thoughts and actions. Amen.
