PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping at Gethsemane today.
OPENING WORSHIP
God is our leader.
Let us focus and follow our leader closely.
God wants us to let go of the past.
Let’s stop being stubborn and set in our ways.
God has a new path for us to travel.
May we let go of the old and embrace the new.
All: Together, when we follow God, we have nothing to fear. We praise our God, our Leader!
Unison Prayer:
Our beloved Father (God), we honor and praise you for loving each one of us. Help us to show your love to our
families and neighbors. Open our hearts and minds to new paths, glorifying your name. This we ask, in the name of
your beloved son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
