Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

Leader: When God called Abraham to leave his country and go to a place God would show him, People: God told him, “All peoples of the earth will be blessed through you.”

Leader: And when God brought the people through the sea and delivered them safely on dry ground, People: God did this so that all nations of the earth would know the Lord is mighty to save.

Sung response:

Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

Leader: When God sent his son into the world He called followers to be His church and declare: People: God accepts people from every nation who fear God and do what is right.

All: O God, we acknowledge today that there is still much work to do. We pray for courage for those who are oppressed. We commit ourselves to work for peace in the face of injustice. We recognize that in faith, our humanity is bound up with one another’s. We pray for the way that you will use us and this church to be signs of your hope, instruments of love and light in our city and world. Amen.
