We Gather in God's Name

Opening Responsive Greeting

Leader: As Ruth loved Naomi and thus chose to follow her God, may we love those who inspire us to follow YOU, true God.

People: As Naomi trusted You and inpired Ruth's love with her own, may we show we are Your disciples by our love for those who depend upon us, and point them toward You.

Leader: As You led Ruth and Naomi through the story that they did not yet know, lead us now in Your story, although we do not know our days.

People: As Naomi's knowledge of your Law was used by You to provide for them, may we know Your Word and may You lead us to safety as we follow Your Word.

All: We follow You, the God of Naomi and Ruth!

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

Dear God

Thank you for hearing our prayers,

For making us feel closer to you,

For making us feel closer to the needs of our neighbors,

For encouraging us to love one another as you love us.

Amen
