Welcome

Prelude                                          “When Morning Gilds the Skies”                         arr. John Carter

Call to Worship   
    Let us give thanks to God with our whole hearts;
        Let us bow down before the temple of the Lord.
    All shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
        For great is God’s glory.

Opening Prayer
Creating God, you call us to be your children. You gift us with one another as brothers and sisters and call us to join together as a loving family. Grant that we may learn to live in harmony and peace with one another, so that all will want to become part of this new kind of family.
  Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Spirit lives and reigns, one God forever and ever. Amen.
