Leader: Come and worship, all you who love and serve the Lord
All: Outsiders and insiders, old-timers and new-comers, the young,
the old, and the in-between.
Leader: Come as you are, for this is God’s house- a house of prayer for
all people, and God welcomes each one who comes.
*HYMN (insert – verses 1 and 2) “Count Your Blessings”
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION and INTERCESSION (Helen Steiner Rice)
“God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow,
Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know.
Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right
So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight.
Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart
So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart.
Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until
My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
