OPENING PRAYER Len Johnson

*CALL TO WORSHIP Len Johnson

Leader: Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord

our Maker for He is our God and we are the people of His

pasture, the flock under His care. (Psalm 95: 6, 7)

People: Good Shepherd, within Your embrace we are safe and secure.

Leader: Within Your embrace we find comfort and healing. We bring to

You those who are weak and struggling.

People: Come and let us bow down before our Maker. Leader: Good Shepherd, within Your embrace we find justice. We pray

for those who have been imprisoned or tortured for their race,

color, or faith.

People: Come, let us bow down before the Lord our Maker.

Leader: Good Shepherd, within Your embrace we find peace. We bring

to You those without a family, without a home and for all

victims of strife and warfare. We pray for those without a

Shepherd.

All: Come, let us bow down before the Lord our Maker. Let us

give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures

forever.
