CHORAL INTROIT

CALL TO WORSHIP
Now is the time
To wake from our sleeping,
Throw off our fears,
Discard our excuses.
Now is the time
To walk toward freedom,
To believe in new life,
To turn away from dead ends,
To live new possibilities,
To sing new songs.
Now is the time
To open our hearts to God.
     
*HYMN#478        “Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven”

* A PRAYER TOGETHER
God of glory, we praise you for your presence in our lives
and for all the goodness that you shower upon us in Jesus Christ.
Especially, we praise and thank you for promises kept and hope for tomorrow, the enjoyment of friends, the joy of families, the wonders of your creation, those who have gone before us, love from our spouses and children, our faith and the church. God of grace, remind us that we are your people through Jesus Christ. We offer our prayers for those whom we love and for those we too often forget: people who have lost hope, those who mourn today, victims of tragedy and disaster, those who suffer because of war, those who are lonely and those who are sick. God of loving presence, journey with us during these days of Lent. In Jesus name. Amen.
