Call to Worship (Psalm 99:1-3, CEB)... Pastor Charles and Amy Abshire
Leader: The Lord rules—the nations shake! God sits enthroned on the winged heavenly creatures— the earth quakes!
People: The Lord is great in Zion; God is exalted over all the nations.
Leader: Let them thank Your great and awesome name. The Lord is holy!
People: Strong king who loves justice, You are the one who established what is fair. You worked justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Leader: Magnify the Lord, our God! Bow low at God’s footstool! The Lord is holy!
Hymn: “Open My Eyes”
Prayer of Transformation… Amy Abshire
Lord, I was a pile of ash and You made me a light for the world. I was a stone, and You made me salt for the earth. I was as lifeless as clay, and You made me part of the Body of Christ. I was sinful and You made me holy. I was nothing and You made me part of everything.
Lord, in you I am transformed and transformed still again.
When the discouraged cry for hope, make me hope.
When the hungry cry for bread, make me bread.
When the thirsty cry for water, make me water.
When the suffering cry for help, make me help.
When the sick cry for healing, make me healing.
When the bound cry for freedom, make me freedom.
When the outcasts cry for love, make me love.
Lord who is hope who is bread and water, who is help and healing, who is freedom, and who is love, transform me anew, and so keep me close to You, as you transform the world. Amen.
