All:
God is eager to restore us to right relationships. The
Creator is waiting to claim us now as God’s own.
We have come to meet the God who welcomes us. We
have gathered to experience God’s steadfast love.
Listen, for God will speak to those who want to hear. Turn
your hearts toward the one who saves.
We bow down to receive God’s mercy. We open ourselves
to the source of peace.
God will answer us and will give what is good. God restores us
to faithfulness and righteousness.
We come asking, searching, and knocking. We seek the
good gifts only God can provide.

MORNING PRAYER (unison) (10:00 am only)
Living God, we come as your children to be reclaimed and blessed. We
need the inner strength that comes to us through worship. All week long

noisy clamor that would make us captives of human traditions. Turn us
toward the source of our salvation, toward your steadfast love and
faithfulness. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI (10:00 am only)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in
