GREETING INTROIT
Nearer, My God, To Thee — arr. Dan Forrest Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee; even though it be a cross that raiseth me. Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Open wide the windows of our spirits, O Lord, and fill us full of light. Open wide the door of our hearts, that we may entertain thee with all out powers of adoration and love. Amen.

#73 O Worship the King — LYONS #886 The World Methodist Social Affirmation #71 Glory Be to the Father — GREATOREX After each prayer, the leader may conclude: Lord, in your mercy. All may respond: Hear our prayer. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. #611 Child of Blessing, Child of Promise — STUTTGART With God's help we will proclaim the good news and live according to the example of Christ. We will surround Hamp with a community of love and forgiveness, that he may grow in his service to others. We will pray for him, that he may be a true disciple who walks in the way that leads to life. (Children, kindergartners through third grade, are invited to exit the Sanctuary for Children’s Worship. Children will return to reserved pews in the Sanctuary at the close of worship.)
