WE GATHER TO WORSHIP GOD
Greeting
One:
The peace of Christ be with you. All: And with your spirit
*Introit VU 374, verse 1
Come
and find the quiet centre
in
the crowded life we lead,
find
the room for hope to enter,
find
the frame where we are freed:
clear
the chaos and the clutter,
clear
our eyes, that we can see
all
the things that really matter,
be
at peace, and simply be.
*Call

Let us glorify God on mountaintops.

Wherever
we find ourselves, O God, may we remember that
you
are present. There is no place where we can run from
your
love, there is no place we can hide from you, there is

us
close. May we experience and celebrate you in this time
of
worship. We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
