WE GATHER AS GOD’S BELOVED 

GREETINGS AND WELCOME

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

CENTERING MOMENT AND COLLECT 

INTROIT: Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living sanctuary for you. (MV# 18, Used with permission)  

OPENING PRAYER: (Unison) God of all creation, we come before you, remembering with thanks all those saints gone before us, and all the faithful living now. We are humbled by the greatness of others and by your call of greatness to us. Grant us courage and wisdom to be faithful saints in our time. Amen. 

All sing: Now Thank We All our God          VU# 236   

A PRAYER FOR RENEWAL (Unison) We are inspired by the saints who have gone before us and who live among us. We confess we do not easily see ourselves in their company. Sometimes we would rather hide from your call to be the best that we can be.

We hang on to our worries and possessions and old habits. We confess our need to break free of these things to serve you with heart, soul, strength, and mind. 

We are truly sorry and ask your forgiveness. 

THE PRAYER OF JESUS

 WORDS OF ASSURANCE: Our Creator is a forgiving God, who seeks our good and wishes to journey with us. From the four directions the Creator fills us with the virtues of inner strength, generosity, respect, and wisdom.

All: Thanks be to you, Source of Life. Amen.
