PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP...

(The words below are a short prayer which may be used by individuals before worship, offering an opportunity to prepare for worship. And while the cares and concerns of family, life

and the world are brought with us to worship, we prepare ourselves to share our joy and burden in God’s presence.)

Lord, we gather in your presence,the company of those who confess that Jesus is Lord

and believe you raised him from the dead.In our worship today,

help us find your deliverance from all shame,your salvation for all who call upon you,

and your grace and encouragement for our daily livesby the power of your Holy Spirit within us.

AMEN.(Roots on the web)
