CALL TO WORSHIP

“Come near to God, and He will come near to you”. (James 4:8)

May all the barriers between God and ourselves be removed. Let us open our spirits to the Spirit of God and discover the power and peace of God surging within us.

“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise”. (Psalm 48:1a)

Therefore, let us joyously unite together as we sing, pray, listen to God’s word and share with God and one another.

A COLLECT FOR MORNING

Lord our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, we thank You for bringing us safely to this day.

Keep us by Your mighty power, and grant that today we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but lead and govern us in all things, that we may always do what is righteous in Your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

HYMN:       675       “Lord, the Light of Your Love is Shining”

RESPONSIVE READING  –  SEEK  THE  LORD

Seek the Lord while He wills to be found;

call upon God when He draws near.

Let the wicked forsake their ways

and the evil ones their thoughts;

and let them turn to the Lord, who will have compassion,

and to our God, who will richly pardon.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

nor your ways my ways, says the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways,

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as rain and snow fall from the heavens

and return not again, but water the earth,

bringing forth life and giving growth,

seed for sowing and bread for eating,

so is my word which goes forth from my mouth;

it will not return to me empty;

but it will accomplish that which I have purposed,

and prosper in that for which I sent it.

PRAYER – DOXOLOGY

Glory be to Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, who gives to all blessings which we have all perceived. Alleluia.

Glory be to thee, O Lord, the life of sinners.

Glory be to thee, O Lord, through whom death is put to shame.

Glory be to thee, O Lord, the treasure of righteousness.

We praise thee as God.                                       Apocryphal Literature 2nd-3rd Century

SONG – GLORIFY  THY  NAME

Father, we love You
We worship and adore You.
Glorify Your Name in all the earth.

Glorify Your Name, Glorify Your Name,
Glorify Your Name in all the earth.

Jesus, we love You
We worship and adore You.
Glorify Your Name in all the earth.

Chorus

Spirit, we love You
We worship and adore You.
Glorify Your Name in all the earth.

Chorus

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

And now, defeated on all fronts and completely forsaken, like a feeble cripple, I am rejected; I am banished that I might perish. Worn down by multitude of blows, I was captured by death and deprived of grace. I seek mercy with a shameful face. I, who have committed all manner of sin, pray for all the dead living in You. For You are able, with infinite ingenuity, to save dying mortals like me. For You everything is possible. Especially since You have power that knows no limits, and You take delight in exercising Your will for good. Therefore, when these two illustrious and renewing graces come together – power and will – the despair that afflicts the race of sinners is lifted away and the light of Your good news arrives with Your prescription to heal our souls, Lord of all, blessed forever. Amen!                                                    St. Grigor Narekatsi

Father God, creator and sustainer, we pray forgive us.

TIME  TO  PRAY  &  THE LORD’S PRAYER

in the name of our Lord Jesus and pray for those who need our prayers.
