PRELUDE / LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “My Life is in You, Lord” *OPENING HYMN “Shout to the Lord” CALL TO WORSHIP: L: God calls us to love one another. P: Yet love does not always come easy to us. L: At times fear gets in the way of love. P: We fear a great many things. L: We fear being hurt by others. P: We fear hurting others with our words, actions, and indifference. L: We fear the motivations of others. P: At times we question our own motivations. L: We fear losing position, power, and prestige. P: Yet with Christ, we know that we need not fear. For he is strong where we are weak! Praise be to God! HYMN “Open Our Eyes, Lord” MORNING PRAYER: L: God created us and placed us on the earth to be stewards of all living things, therefore let us proclaim the glory of our Creator, saying: P: O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands. L:Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; you create the animals and give us the ability to train them to help us in our work. P: O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands. L: Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; you give us food from animals to replenish our energies. P: O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands. L: Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; for the sake of our comfort you give us domestic animals as companions. P: O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands. L: Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; you care for us even as you care for the birds of the air. P: O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands. L: Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; you offered your Son to us as the passover lamb and in him willed that we should be called your children. P: O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands. Amen.
