Prelude (Lighting of the Candles)                                                                  Robert March                               

*Call to Worship

One:  This is the day God has made, the day to rejoice and give thanks,

All:   For Jesus has been raised from the dead, and lives as an everyday presence in our midst.

One:  This is the day God has made, the day to remember God’s faithfulness through the ages,

All:   To hear God’s challenge and attend to God’s dream for the future.

One:  God calls us to live into the vision, to share the ministry and mission of Christ.

All:   Let us worship with praise, let us serve God with resolve!

           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 debtors.

          And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

          For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. .
