Welcome & Greetings

*CALL TO WORSHIP

Like a loving Father, God offers us freedom to choose our own path,

In God's freedom, we are a new creation.

Like a merciful Mother, God offers us compassion when we lose our way.

In God's mercy, we are a new creation.

Like a forgiving Parent, God welcomes us home with open arms.

In God's embrace, we are a new creation.

Come! Let us worship the one who makes all things new.

*Opening Hymn ‘Love Divine, All Loves Excelling’ insert

*Opening Prayer(in Unison)

Merciful God, you seek the lost sheep of your pasture and  you call out to all who have strayed. As the father welcomed the prodigal son home, receive us back into your loving arms. Your steadfast love, O God, knows no bounds. Your loving embrace is always there for us. Be with us in our time of worship, that we may feel your presence and know that you are our true home. Amen!

In lowly paths of service free;

Tell me thy secret, help me bear

The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
