Prelude

Welcome/Opening Prayer

Hymn of Praise: UMH #578 – “God of Love and God of Power”

Call to Worship:
Leader: When we long for the special effects we think life should offer:
PEOPLE: it is enough, for us, that God comes in a soft, summer shower.
Leader: When we our hearts are cracked by the drought of doubt;
PEOPLE: it is enough, for us, that God opens up the fountains of faith for us.
Leader: When we our senses are deadened by the sales pitches of our culture:
PEOPLE: it is enough, that God wraps us in the silence of grace.

Contemporary Song: “Holy Spirit” by Francesca Battistelli

The Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Amen.
