We come together today to worship a mighty God! We come to be reminded of
God’s power and grace.
We seek a connecƟon with a source of power that cannot be exhausted… a
spring of hope that will run dry.
We stand today on the shoulders of pioneers in faith who have gone before and
shown us the true meaning of faith.
Help us today to stand with them and to trust the Ɵmeless promises of God.
We believe, but ask God’s help in our unbelief. In the name of Christ we
pray… AMEN.

It is good and right and a delight to the spirit to give our thanks to God.
We remember that everything we have, we have on loan from You, O Lord.
Help us remember to give You thanks at all Ɵmes, in all places, in every
occasion.
Refresh our sense of purpose and commitment to your ministry of love.
In Christ’s holy name we pray…
AMEN.
