Opening Prayer 3/14

Dear Lord,

We have come to give you our heart, to confess you are God and bow before you in worship.

Thank you for calling us to yourself, inviting us into your presence just as we are, with all of our stuff, all of our questions and needs, fragile in our humanity, yet longing to be closer to you.

[powerpress]Lord, walk among us here in this place, let us see your glory as we praise and proclaim your holiness, and goodness.

We bless you and praise you 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.
