We Gather in God's Name

Dear God,

Please take our lives and help us to be what you would have us be.

We bring you our bodies, our minds, our spirits, our loves, our hates,

our pain, our sorrows, our joy, our questions and fears, our hopes and visions.

We are here together to bring them all to you.

Amen

We Hear God's Word

Psalm 77

"Luke 8:26-39"

Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.

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.
