Call to Worship (Psalm 116:1-2)—Pastor Charles (Leader) and Rebecca Glancy (People) (Congregation is encouraged to read People’s response aloud on mute setting.)
Leader: I love the Lord because God hears my requests for mercy.

Prayer for Discernment (Hugh Cameron, UMC Book of Worship, #510)--Rebecca Glancy (Congregation is encouraged to read aloud on mute setting.)
Almighty God, in a world of change You placed eternity in our hearts and gave us power to discern good from evil. Grant us sincerity, that we may persistently seek the things that endure, refusing those which perish, and that, amid things vanishing and deceptive, we may see the truth steadily, follow the light faithfully, and grow richer in that love which is the life of all people; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen
