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.
