CALL
TO WORSHIP Inspired by Psalm 25:1-5
We look to you, O God, and lift our
voices in praise.
We are your people, and you will
not put us to shame.
Show us how you work, God;
Show us how you work, God;
School us in your ways.
Lead us in the way of truth and
light.
Where you go, we will follow. You are our Savior
HYMN “He
Leadth Me”
PRAYER
OF THE PEOPLE
Accompany us, God, through the waiting.
Accompany those who are ill and return them health and healing.
Accompany those who are unemployed and waiting to go back to work.
Accompany those who are self-isolating longing to be back in
community with others.
Accompany those who feel displaced and are grieving as they wait
for a return to normaility.
Accompany those who seek you in changing times as they look
forward to the future you have for them.
Accompany those in violent homes waiting for silence, safety and
security.
Accompany those who are targets of hate and discrimination asking
for justice and peace.
Accompany us God through the waiting until your work is finally
accomplished.
We ask in the name of Jesus, who abides with us in the waiting,
and first taught us to pray, saying: our
Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be your
name. Your kingdom come, your will be
done on earth as it is in heaven. Give
us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as you we forgive
those who trespass against us. Lead us
not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Almighty God, your boundless miracles in nature are such a small display of your awesome deeds. You visibly enrich our lives with the bounty of the earth’s beauty. How can we ever adequately honor the gift of an amethyst sunset or the fragility of a butterfly’s dance? Abundantly increase these gifts so that we may be more faithful stewards of your entire creation. To you be all honor and glory. Amen.
