OPENING SONGS: “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High”
WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING PRAYER:
The hills hear your voice, O Lord. The mountains quake before you. As we call on your name, help us walk in the ways of righteousness and speak in tones of peace. As we seek to be blameless and do what is right, may our hearts be free from guile and deceit, that we be known as peace makers, the blessed children of God. Amen.
