Our Lord and God,
You call us together from north, south, east, and west;
from places of joy and sorrow;
young and old alike:
sinners who desperately need your grace.
As your Holy Spirit gathers us together,
unites as a Kingdom, and gives us strength,
we humbly set this time apart
from anything normal, routine, or worldly.
We dedicate this time, this time right now,
to a holy and heavenly and peculiar purpose:
worshipping you through Christ Jesus.
May our every thought, word, and action
be truly, truly worship.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
Written by Rev. Jeff Bryan, used in worship at First Presbyterian Church of Springfield, 8/23/09
