 PRELUDE

 THOUGHT FOR MEDITATION
     Matthew 6:25 "Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life,
     what your will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will
     wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
     clothing?"

*INVOCATION:
     O God, from our world of worry and strife, we call on
     thee. From the ills of mind and body we pray for relief.
     From the gnawing of uncertainty of the future, deliver
     us to thoughts of hope. We rejoice in, celebrate, and
     experience with gratitude - painless and happy days,
     encouragement received and tasks achieved, work to
     do, friends to love, loads to lift, hope to share. Amen.1

 *CALL TO WORSHIP:
      One: Our shepherd will supply our needs, Jehovah is
             His name.
     All:   In pastures fresh, he makes us feed, beside
              the living stream.
     One:  He brings our wandr'ing spirit back when we
              forsake His ways.
     All:   And  He leads us for his mercy's sake, in
              paths of truth and grace
     One:  When I walk through the shades of death, thy
              presence is my stay.
     All:   One word of thy supporting breath drives
              all my fears away.
    
     One:  Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my
                table spread.
      All:     My cup with blessings overflow, thine oil
                anoints my head.
      One:   The sure provisions of my God attend me all
                my days.
      All:     Oh, may thy house be my abode, and all
                 my work be praise." 2

   SHARING OUR TITHES & OFFERINGS:
     You've blessed me with friends and laughter and fun,
     with rain that's as soft as the light from the sun.
     You've blessed me with the stars to brighten each
     night. You've given me help to know wrong from right.
     You've given me so much, so please, Lord, give me,
     too, a heart that is always grateful to you.

     Will guard your hearts and your minds on Christ Jesus.
