January 23, 2011 “A Prayer or Repentance. TURN AROUND!”
Welcome to the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church! We are glad to have you worshipping with us this morning. If you are visiting with us, please fill out the visitor card and place it in the offering. We want to know who is worshipping with us, and who you are! Welcome and announcements
Offering (We give our gifts to God) I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.—Philippians 4:11-13 *Doxology
Prelude (the gift of music helps us to prepare our hearts for worship)
‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;
Lighting of the candles (the flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit)
praise him above ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.”
Call to Worship (from Psalm 5) Leader: My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long? Turn, O Lord, and deliver us.
