 Opening Praise Hymn No. 536 “Happy the Home” 1, 4

Call to Worship: (You may be seated)                                                                       Pastor: People of God, why are you here?
People: We gather to worship with our hearts and our lives.
Pastor: People of God, who do you worship?
People: We worship God, who loves us and teaches us to love.
Pastor: People of God, how do you worship?
People: We worship God by breaking the bonds of injustice and 
                  freeing the oppressed.
Pastor: People of God, come, let us worship God, whose glory  
                surrounds us!
People: May our worship demonstrate God’s glory in our 
                   neighborhood, community, and the whole earth.

Hymn No. 41 “God is So Good”  1, 2 & 4

Prayer of Invocation:                                                                                         
      God of compassion and justice, the worship you choose for us is to loose the bonds of injustice, to let the oppressed go free,
to share bread with the hungry, to shelter the homeless. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn and your healing shall spring up quickly. So, in praise and wonder, we come to worship you not just with our words but with our hearts and our lives. Glory and honor be to you, O God, Creator of a new heaven and a new earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
