*	The Call to Worship

We gather in the presence of God. From whom every family on earth is named. We come seeking the power of the risen Christ. That he might live in our hearts, our homes, our families. We come with the prayer that the love of Christ -- May fill our hearts, our lives, our community, our world.

God's Family Praying Together

Faithful and steady God, our faith struggles when we read our morning paper. We worry what tomorrow holds: for us, our families, and for our world. We give thanks for people who never stop believing in the future: for people who plant trees, for students who prepare for a career, for doctors who search for a cure, for those who believe our world can be a good place to raise children. O God, you've been our help in ages past, help us to know that you are our hope for years to come. In the name of Him who died that we might have a future. Amen.
