CALL TO WORSHIP

Thou has made us for thyself, O Lord,

and our hearts are restless until they find rest in thee

HYMN “And Are We Yet Alive” #553 UMH

OPENING PRAYER

Teach us Good Lord,

To service you as you deserve;

To give and not to count the cost;

To fight and not to heed the wounds;

To toil and not to seek for rest;

To labor and not to ask for any reward,

Except that of knowing that we do your will

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Almighty and most merciful God,

From you comes every good and perfect gift.

We give you praise and thanks for all your mercies.

Your goodness has created us, your bounty has sustained us,

Your discipline has chastened us, your patience has borne with us,

Your love has redeemed us.

Give us a heart to love and serve you,

And enable us to show our thankfulness for all your goodness and mercy

By giving up ourselves to your service,

And cheerfully submitting in all things to your blessed will;

Through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen
