GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER: (in unison)
Lord, we come as Your sheep—
sometimes wandering, sometimes weary,
but always in need of Your voice.
Quiet the noise around us and within us,
so we can hear You clearly today.
Lead us, restore us, and draw us close.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
*OPENING CHORUS: “Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us” #381

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after prayer)
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.
(Matthew 6:9-13)
