CALL TO WORSHIP Litany
LORD, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit
ALL: We gather as community from near and far.
Through the love God, Grace of Christ, and presence of the Holy Spirit, we are the body of Christ!
ALL: The living and loving presence of Christ for all the world to see, encounter, and experience.
God has entrusted us with riches not measured in this world. To be shared as a blessing with all of God’s children, all of creation.
Together we reflect upon, and celebrate, this amazing opportunity. Come.
ALL: Now is the time for intentional stewardship!

CALL TO PRAYER: PLEASE PRAY AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN
God of Joy, we easily acknowledge the scarcity in areas of our lives and fail to express gratitude for all the little ways we are abundantly blessed. Help us see the joys that abound all around us and push us to share joy as we move through our day. Increase our awareness, we pray, that we may be vessels of abundant joy in this world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Entering The Year In Covenant
“I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things
to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.”
