Opening Prayer (in unison) Leslie Olson
Lord, be with us this day: Within us to purify us;
Above us to draw us up; Beneath us to sustain us;
Before us to lead us; Behind us to restrain us;
Around us to protect us.
We ask you, O Master, to be our help.
Rescue those in distress; Raise up the fallen;
Assist the needy; Heal the sick;
Feed the hungry; Release the captives;
Revive the weak; Encourage those who lose heart.                                                  May we remember this day and always that you are the one true God, that Jesus Christ is your only Son, and that by the power of your Holy Spirit, we are enabled to do your work. Amen.

Sending Forth/Benediction                                       Pastor Mary Beth
Go forth with renewed hope, trusting in the transforming love of God. God does not leave things as they are; With God, all things are made new. All creation responds to God’s presence; The world is alive with possibility. We open ourselves to this truth; With Christ, we trust our whole lives to this power. Nothing is beyond the reach of God; Neither evil, nor hardship, nor death. Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed. Amen.
