*Call to Worship

Grace to you and peace from the one who is and who was and who is to come,

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.

The whole earth is full of God’s glory.

*Hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns” #327

*Opening Prayer

Holy God, through the generations you have spoken to us. You have sent voices crying out in the wilderness. You have sent the words of an overjoyed new father and an expectant mother. You have sent the assurance of a condemned man on a cross. Quiet in us any voice but your own that, by the power of your Spirit, we might hear the words you speak to us today. Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!

he plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

Our gratitude goes out to the Rev. Scott Berkley for leading us in worship this morning in Pastor Kelly’s absence. We are blessed by his leading and glad to have him as a part of our congregation.
