PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping at Gethsemane today.
CALL TO WORSHIP
God said, “Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord.”
Jesus said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
And I will give you rest.”
We come in the name of the Spirit, resting from our labors,
Let us worship God this day!

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.
