The TwentyThird Sunday in Ordinary Time
We Gather in God's Name
Call to Worship
"Oh For A Thousand Tongues to Sing"
Opening Sentences
Leader: A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.
People: The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD is the maker of them all.
Leader: Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of anger will fail.
People: Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.
Leader: Do not rob the poor because they are poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate;
ALL: for the LORD pleads their cause and despoils of life those who despoil them.

We Respond in Prayer
Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.
A Time of Silence
This time is the heart of the Taize service -- please use it to meditate or reflect silently on all the prayers that have been voiced, as well as those that remain unvoiced.
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.
We Go in Peace
Closing Song: In the Lord, I'll be Ever Thankful
