11am Traditional Worship, 5-26-24

Prelude

Welcome & Announcements  

Call to Worship –

Leader: Creator God… Call us all.

People: You declared, O Lord, that our sons and daughters would prophecy; the young will see visions, while the elders dream dreams.

Leader: Resurrected Christ… guide us all.

People: You have told us, Great God, what is required:
to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with You.

Leader: Holy, Holy, Holy Spirit…move us to action.

People: So that justice rolls like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Leader: Take away all guilt; accept that which is good.

All: We offer our worship — the fruit of our lips to you, our God. Amen.

Opening Prayer (Unison) – Holy Spirit of God, invisible like the wind, we do not see you moving among us, but the effect we see—come to our hearts that we may be renewed and reborn.  Open our minds that we may perceive your kingdom.  Lift up our eyes to where the cross of Christ stands for our healing so may we believe, and in believing not die but have eternal life, through him who in your love for us you sent into the world, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
