PRELUDE

WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP FWS #2002I Will Call upon the Name of the Lord

OPENING PRAYER (unison)

O Lord, we come this morning knee-bowed and body-bent before thy throne of grace. O Lord — this morning — bow our hearts beneath our knees, and our knees in some lonesome valley. We come this morning like empty pitchers to a full fountain, with no merits of our own. O Lord, open up a window of heaven, and lean out far over the battlements of glory, and listen this morning. Amen.
