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!
