CALL TO WORSHIP (responsive reading)
David Kenson
Be glad and rejoice in the Lord our God.
God has blessed us with abundant rain.
The trees bear their fruit.
The threshing floors are full of grain.
The vats overflow with wine and oil.
We will eat in plenty and be satisfied.
The earth provides all we need to live.
God has done great things for us.
Be glad and rejoice in the Lord our God.

PRAYER of GRATITUDE – Unison
Pastor Sungmin
Pastor: Loving Creator, whose reign is everlasting, we offer these gifts with grateful hearts. May they serve to proclaim your truth and extend your kingdom of justice, peace, and love. Transform our gifts and our lives to bear witness to the hope and promise of Christ,
our king.
​​​​
All: Most loving God, without you no words or works of ours have meaning. Accept the gifts of our hands as symbols of our devotion. Grant us your blessing, as we have consecrated these gifts to your glory, that they may bear witness that our lives may be consecrated in your service; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
