GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

PREPARATION AND PRAISE

PRELUDE

OPENING PRAYER (in unison):

Gracious God,

You are more than enough for every need we bring today. When we feel tired, uncertain, or stretched thin, remind us that Your grace is sufficient, Your strength never fails, and Your love never runs out.

As we gather to worship, open our hearts to Your Word. Teach us to trust You with what we have, to hold on to You in every struggle, and to believe that You can do far more than we could ever imagine.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

*OPENING HYMN: “Halle, Halle, Halleluja.”  Faith We Sing #2026

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.​
