Welcome and Announcements Prelude “The Bread of Heaven”

J. S. Bach

*Call to Worship We gather together to worship God. We gather together to share a holy meal. We gather around this table. We’ll give thanks; we’ll find our home with God together. So, welcome to worship. Welcome to the table. Hallelujah!

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
