GATHERING

CALL TO WORSHIP

O Lord, you have searched us and you know us.

You search deep within, you’re looking into our hearts.

We’re coming back to the heart of worship and it's all about your love. It's all about you, Jesus.

HYMN “Gift of Love” #408 UMH

OPENING PRAYER

Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart.

Here is the citadel of all my desiring,

Where my hopes are born

And all the deep resolutions of my spirit take wings.

In this center, my fears are nourished,

And all my hates are nurtured.

Here my loves are cherished,

And all the deep hungers of my spirit are honored

Without quivering and without shock.

In my heart, above all else,

Let love and integrity envelop me

Until my love is perfected and the last vestige

Of my desiring is no longer in conflict with thy Spirit.

Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart. Amen

DOXOLOGY #95 UMH PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Blessed are you, Sovereign God, creator of all.

You founded the earth in the beginning

and the heavens are the work of your hands.

In the fullness of time you made us in your image,

and in these last days you have spoken to us

in your Son Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh.

As we rejoice in the gift of your presence among us

let the light of your love always shine in our hearts.

May your Spirit inspire us to greater depths of holiness

as we live and move and have our being in you.
