We Gather in God's Name
Opening Prayer
In love with fear
By Kimberly Knigt / Sophianne
Oh Lord
We are a culture
In love with fear
And afraid of love
Be not afraid, you call
Many of the same souls
Who shout
With closed minds
And plugged ears
That the government
Shall not have any role
In regulating
Weapons
Be afraid, they say
Are the same souls
Who demand
With closed hearts
And clenched fists
That the government
Shall have the ultimate role
In regulating Love
Be very afraid, they say
For without our guns
To defend our lives
And without our bibles
To defend our prejudices
Surely we shall perish
Be not afraid, you beckon
Oh Lord
Free us from fear
That leads only to death
And open us to love
That leads to abundant life
Amen

We Respond in Prayer
Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.
The Lord's Prayer
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.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
Closing Prayer
Lord, you said that when two or three Are gathered together in your name, that you would be present with them. I am praying in a room by myself but online I am uniting myself with many individual Christians throughout the world who, though separate, are gathered together to pray to you, and I trust that you are with all of us now and that you hear our prayers. Thank you Amen
