OPENING SONGS: “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” and “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High”
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER:
Give us eyes to see, O God: to see as you see, and to see those people you see. Remind us that you have called us to be a sent-out people, not a stay-put people. Help us to move beyond the stained glass, into the world you love and for which Christ died. Amen.
PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES:
*HYMN “The Church’s One Foundation” - #545
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Leader: Hear what the Lord requires of members in the family of God:
People: To do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.
Leader: Hear what Jesus taught about participation in the kingdom of God:
People: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength; and love your neighbor as yourself.
Leader: Let us be true to our calling to follow Christ.
HYMN “Fairest Lord Jesus” #189
LITANY FOR MEMORIAL DAY:
Leader: Let us give thanks to God for the land of our birth with all its chartered liberties. For all the wonder of our country's story:
PEOPLE: WE GIVE YOU THANKS, O GOD.
Leader: For leaders in nation and state, and for those who in days past and in these present times have labored for the commonwealth:
PEOPLE: WE GIVE YOU THANKS, O GOD.
Leader: For those who in all times and places have been true and brave, and in the worlds common ways have lived upright lives and ministered to their fellows:
PEOPLE: WE GIVE YOU THANKS, O GOD.
Leader: For those who served their country in its hour of need, and especially for those who gave even their lives in that service:
PEOPLE: WE GIVE YOU THANKS, O GOD.
Leader: O almighty God and most merciful Father, as we remember these your servants, remembering with gratitude their courage and strength, we hold before you those who mourn them. Look upon your bereaved servants with your mercy. As this day brings them memories of those they have lost awhile, may it also bring your consolation and the assurance that their loved ones are alive now and forever in your living presence.
