 CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 118

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.”

 Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.”

 When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

 The Lord is with me; he is my helper. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in anything else.

 The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
The Lord has done it this very day.

 HOSANNAH, HOSANNAH. Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success!

  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord, we bless you.

 HOSANNAH, HOSANNAH. Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success!

 The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us.

  HOSANNAH, HOSANNAH. Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success!

 You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.

 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Hallelujah

To Pray,

LET US PRAY TOGETHER

Gracious and faithful God, give us a listening ear and a sustaining word for the weary. In moments when we feel pressed, misunderstood, or worn down, teach us to listen for Your voice each morning. Give us courage to stand firm in obedience, even when the path leads through suffering. When shame or fear rises against us, remind us that You are near, that You help and work for us, and that no accusation has the final word over our lives.

 Merciful Lord, we come before You in our distress, trusting our lives into Your loving hands. You see our pain, You know our troubles, and You are mindful of our weakness. Turn Your face toward us and be our refuge when we feel surrounded by hardship or uncertainty. Let Your steadfast love steady our hearts and help us to rest in the truth that our lives are held securely in You.

   Exalted Christ, we worship You, the One who humbled Himself and was raised to glory. You are the name above every name, the Lord to whom every knee will bow and every tongue confess. Shape our lives by Your humility and fill our hearts with confident hope, so that even with limits we may live for the glory of God. Strengthen us to walk in trust and obedience, until all creation joins in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen.

 PRAYERS OF THE COMMUNITY

LET US SHARE THE WORDS JESUS GAVE US:

 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.
