PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today. OPENING PRAYER:2
Holy gracious God, today you meet us in the garden; calling us to
nurture our souls and bear fruit that is born from your Spirit living in us.
Therefore, may this time of worship open us up to the living water that flows from your fountain. Let the gardens of our souls be immersed in your refreshing Holy presence. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
