God Gathers Us

Call to Worship - Psalm 46:8-11

To be read aloud by someone in your home

Come and see what the Lord has done,
    the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Opening Prayer

  • Take a few moments of silence, remembering the power of God and His presence with you, right now.

  • Now take a moment to pray, thanking God for His presence and asking Him to show Himself to you in new ways, as you worship today.

  • Below are some hymns you can make use of if these would be a help to you:

Congregational Prayer

  • This is Memorial Day Weekend, in which we remember those who have given their lives in service to our country.

  • Take a moment of silence in memory of those who have died, and to pray for the families and friends who continue to remember and mourn those they have lost.

  • Pray as well for those who are serving now in our armed forces and for the leaders of our country who continue to be faced with difficult situations and decisions. Pray for wisdom, courage - and for peace, and in and through that peace the further advance of the Gospel around the world.

  • You can drop your offering in the locked mailbox outside the church office entrance

  • Or, you can mail them to the church at 393 Water Street, Augusta ME 04330.
