*Call to Worship

Let’s look at our hands. Lord, what have you called these hands to do?

Our world needs God’s healing touch and restoration. Wherever our journey goes, God is with

us. Yes, we are seeking God’s healing touch!

Today, we are asking God to bring life unto this world in new ways.

With these hands, God is healing our hearts, renewing our souls, raising us from death, and granting us a new day!

Yes, we are seeking God’s healing touch!

Bring life to all the world!

What is our call today? Worship an awesome God who brings life

and light to a dark world.

Let us worship God this day as new life comes forth in the name of Jesus Christ!

*Processional Hymn “America the Beautiful” No. 696 *Responsive Reading Psalm 130 No. 848 *The Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed No. 881

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
