ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Worriers of the world, unite!
Bring your cares and concerns,
Your anxieties and greatest fears!
Bring those things that make you toss on your beds,
Or that tie your stomach in knots!
Bring your torments!
Bring your misgivings!
Bring your troubles,
And everything you dread!
Heap them in huge mountains of distress,
At the feet of the living God.
Watch and see if God is faithful in all things.
Look at the birds of the air! Our heavenly father feeds them.
Consider the lilies of the field!
God clothes them in glory that exceeds Solomon’s finest.
Are you not more valuable than birds?
Will not God care more for you than for grass??
You of little faith, let your worries go!
Strive first for the kingdom of God and God’s righteousness,
And all these things will be give to you as well!
OPENING HYMN: God of Grace and God of Glory #577 UMH
OPENING PRAYER
O God, the protector of all who trust in you,
without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy;
Increase and multiply upon us your mercy;
that with you as our ruler and guide,
we may so pass through things temporal
that we finally lose not the things eternal:
Grant this, heavenly Father,
for Jesus Christ’s sake, our Lord. Amen.
