CALL TO WORSHIP: Charlotte Peterson

This is the moment.

This is the time.

From the anxiety and stress through which we all journey, 

Now is the moment of release.

Now is the time for us to reach for new hope and wonder

As we give our hearts to God through worship and praise.

So come, let us inhabit this moment.

Come, this is the time. AMEN.

 

OPENING HYMN: “Open My Eyes (UMH 454) Played by Marilyn Lee, Organist

1 Open my eyes, that I may see
glimpses of truth you have for me;
place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unlock and set me free.
Silently now, on bended knee,
ready I wait your will to see;
open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

2 Open my ears, that I may hear
voices of truth you send so clear;
and while the message sounds in my ear,
everything false will disappear.
Silently now, on bended knee,
ready I wait your will to see;
open my ears, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

CLOSING HYMN: “We Gather Together”  (UMH 131) Played by Marilyn Lee, Organist

1 We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to his name; he forgets not his own.

2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side; all glory be thine!
