Hymn No. 66 “To God Be the Glory” 1, 2

Prayer of Invocation:
      Ever-gracious God, we celebrate the gifts of your Spirit. You have not fed us a diet of shame or shrinking, but with the milk of your truth. You have made us strong and faithful servants of Christ. You fill us with strength and hope, and you invite us to share in the cost and joys of discipleship. Meet us here, we pray, that your word will be fulfilled in our hearing and that your Spirit will fill us with courage. Amen.
