CALL TO WORSHIP (Click HERE for the version led by Sloan)

Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by You,

always follow Your plans, and perfectly accomplish Your Holy Will.

Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life,

I may do whatever You require of me.

Help me respond to the slightest prompting of Your Grace,

so that I may be Your trustworthy instrument for Your honour.

May Your Will be done in time and in eternity by me,

in me, and through me. Amen.      

READING     Hebrews 9:11-14

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

O My God! Source of all mercy!

I acknowledge Your sovereign power.

While recalling the wasted years that are past, I believe that You, Lord, can in an instant turn this loss to gain.

Please Pray for the People on the List

Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that You can do all things.

Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Your grace, both now and in the future, that I may appear before You in “wedding garments.” Amen

BENEDICTION (Teresa of Avila)

Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, all things will pass away.
