CALL TO WORSHIP (based on Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16

We run to you, my Lord.

You never let us down.
You're our rock and our fortress,
Our refuge and our guide.
Our times are in your hands.
Ever shine your face upon us.

OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God, you give us the joy of celebrating our Lord's resurrection.  In this season of quarantines and self-distancing, help us to resurrect our hope and joy each day as we remember the victory your Son, Jesus Christ has given us.  In these times of fear of contagions, let us infect the world with kindness, love, compassion and joy.  May the hope of our faith spread from us to each person we interact with.


God, our peace and our strength, we pray for our nation and the world as we face new uncertainties around coronavirus.  Protect the most vulnerable among us, especially all who are currently sick or in isolation.  Grant wisdom, patience, and clarity to health care workers, especially as their work caring for others puts them at great risk.  Guide us as we consider how best to prepare and respond in our families, congregations, workplaces, and communities.  Give us courage to face these days not with fear but with compassion, concern, and acts of service, trusting that you abide with us always.  We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who first taught us to pray, saying, 


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.
