WELCOME
CALL TO WORSHIP
Your steadfast love, O God, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
Your judgments are like the great deep;
you save humans and animals alike, O God.
How precious is your steadfast love, O God.
All people take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
May we feast on the abundance of your house.
* HYMN #97 “When A Star Is Shinning”
PRAYER OF APPROACH
Extravagant God, we gather in this sacred space, guests at a
feast of your boundless gifts. Stretch out your canopy of grace,
your sheltering wings, that we may delight in your love, which
never runs out as we pray together saying Our Father …...Amen.
