Call To Worship (from Psalm 78:23-29)
Right: The Lord commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;
Left: he rained down on them manna to eat, and gave them the grain of heaven.
Women: Mortals ate of the bread of angels; he sent them food in abundance.
Men: He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he led out the south wind;
Back: he rained flesh upon them like dust, winged birds like the sand of the seas;
Front: he let them fall within their camp, all around their dwellings.
All: And they ate and were well filled, for he gave them what they craved.
Unison Prayer
God of all gifts, even as we recall the good things you gave in the desert to your people, we remember as well their unfaithfulness, because it tells our story as well. Help us to call to mind our sins, your salvation, and the constant shower of blessings which you send to strengthen us. Bless us as we gather to worship you. Send us your holy manna. Amen.
Morning Prayer
Almighty God, we offer up one prayer for many concerns, one praise for many joys, one heart shared among this congregation for the work of God. We offer up our petitions, our wishes, our dreams, our visions, even as we pray with the words of your son and our savior, who said, "Not my will, but your will." We count upon you to sort out our conflicting prayers, our confused allegiances, and our concerns, praying boldly for what we desire even as we pray contritely for better than we deserve. Bless us as your people. These things we pray in your name. Amen.
Unison Offering Prayer
Accept, O Lord, the gifts we offer in gratitude to you for all you have done, not only for us, but for your children around the world. Amen.
Children's Benediction
God is the Father of all.
