Thoughts for the Day “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” ~ Winston S. Churchill “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” ~ G. K. Chesterton “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore “The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.” ~ Billy Graham

WE GATHER IN GRATEFUL WORSHIP

Song of Gathering Forever

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Song of Praise Blessed Assurance (Hymn 341)

Agnus Dei

Prayer of Confession

Gracious God, we confess we get caught up in our own selfish pursuits and often overlook the wonders of your creation. All around us are majestic reminders of the beauty you offer to us. We are surrounded by evidence of your loving presence. Yet we are weak and easily trapped into attitudes of indifference or carelessness, and even destructive behavior. You have entrusted this world to us that we should cherish it and one another. Help us to graciously receive your gifts and be faithful stewards of all your goodness. Forgive our greed and selfishness. Help us to let go of the desires for wealth, position, and power, and bring us into a place of humility where we long for you, your love and your justice for all your people. These things we pray in the name of the Master Servant, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
