Third Sunday in Lent
Welcome
Prelude: “Prelude in E Minor” by Alexander Scriabin
Call to Worship: Cathy Bonnett
Let us sing a new and joyful song to the Lord, our rock and salvation!
We come into God’s presence singing songs of joy and thanksgiving.
Let us come to worship on bended knee before the Lord, our Maker.
We come with open and grateful hearts and ears ready to listen to the wisdom of the Lord.
Opening Hymn: “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” #127
Opening Prayer: Cathy Bonnett
O
Lord, grant us the waters of your grace. Flow in and through us, reshape
us so that our focus is on you and not on every whim and desire of our
hearts. For when we turn to you, we find life filled with possibilities
and joy even in our times of turmoil, frustration, fear, or doubt. Your living
waters soothe us, comfort us, and make us whole. You, O God, are our navigator
on this journey we call life. You enrich our days and fill us with joy
through your loving, unwavering presence. May we keep the eyes of our
hearts ever focused on you. Amen
