Welcome and Notices

Call to Worship
Leader:   Through desolation and weeping, 
through bitterness and fear,
through anguish and suffering, 
through destruction and violence, 
this we will remember:
All:   The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; 
God’s mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; 
great is God’s faithfulness. 

We say the Collect together:
God of grace, mercy, and peace, instill in us a sincere faith, and grant us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline, that we may worship with humility and steadfast trust, and respond each day to your holy calling, Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
