People: Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths.

*Opening Prayer (in Unison) God of Glory, Lord of Love you sent Your Son into the world to proclaim Your kingdom and to teach with authority, and to open the way of peace and wholeness to all people. Anoint us in this time of worship with the power of Your Holy Spirit, that we, too, may bring good news to the afflicted, that we may be empowered to bind up the broken hearted. Bless us with your word, shine upon us with your wisdom, and bring us into deeper communion with you and one another through Your Christ Jesus, our Lord and our Savior. Amen!
