*HYMN 418 Take Time to Be Holy

*THE PRAYER OF THE DAY** and THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)

Wonderful are you, God of creation, without whom nothing draws breath. Wonderful are you, Christ Jesus, without whom our world stays in the dark. Wonderful are you, Spirit-Friend, without whom our worship remains formal. We trust you, we love you, we yearn for more of you; we praise you for your holiness, beauty and inexhaustible love. We do this and pray in the name Jesus, the Christ...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen!

*THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE**

*THE GLORIA PATRI (Hymn 558)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
