Centering Words
As Jesus met his disciple on the mountain, he is with us today. With authority, he commissions us to service. With redeeming love, he picks us up when we fall.
Prelude
*Call to Worship
Come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us honor the God who made us;
Let us praise the Savior who died to redeem us;
Let us give thanks for the Holy Spirit, who empowers us.
All: Come, let us worship and give thanks together.
*Opening Prayer
O God, through this time of holy worship, enable us to see clearly what we have allowed ourselves to become. Then help us to see what, by your grace, we can someday become. Comfort us with the power of your presence, and fill us with the power of your Spirit so we can be so much more through Christ our Lord.
