Call To Worship
Leader: Lord, you have changed my sadness into joy.
People: You have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy.
Leader: So I will not be silent; I will sing praise to you.
People: Lord, you are my God; I will give you thanks forever.
Collect
Eternal God, we come before you with hearts filled with thanksgiving and songs of praise for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us. We come, too, with deep concerns about our world and the violence we see all about us. Remove from us any pride…
