Hymn Jesus Calls Us (UMH 398, lyrics)
Gathering Prayer
God of all creation
who called every being into life
and called us each into service:
Hear now your children,
battered by the waves of life,
but moving forward still.
Guide us in your ways,
grant us courage enough to continue,
and love enough to hold us together.
Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving
Gracious God, your love reaches across the
boundaries that we cannot seem to escape.
Though we may not always think alike or even
walk the same paths, may we hold fast to your
love and be united in heart. Bless these gifts we
offer, that they may be a shared expression of the
love which binds us and provide opportunity to
unite in ministry. Grant us the grace to bless those
who walk different paths, and the courage to hope
that our paths will again unite in the glory of your
presence. In Christ’s holy name we pray, Amen.
Sending Forth Blest Be the Tie that Binds (UMH 557, lyrics)
