*CALL TO WORSHIP            based on Psalm 138

Thank you, L ORD , thank you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
I will stand and sing your praises in the face of every would-be god!

Wherever I am, I turn towards your holy Temple and fall to my knees in gratitude,thanking you for your rock-solid love and loyalty;
With everything you say and everything you do your reputation continues to go through the roof.

You, L ORD , have made plans for me and you will see them through to completion.
Your love is as timeless and dependable as the rock; you have made us what we are and you never give up on us.

*OPENING PRAYER

Light of Christ, awaken us this hour to the glory of your presence in our midst. Shine among us in such a way that the darkness without and within may be pushed back, so that we might truly see what is really real. Help us to recognize our sin for what it is. Enable us to see the world as you created it to be, as you created us to be. Empower us to move from darkness to light, from sin to new life. May your light within us shine through into worship this day. This we pray in the name of the Word made flesh, the light which is the light of all people: Jesus Christ. Amen.
