Call to Worship (Greeting)
Leader: Seek the Lord who is now present, call upon the Lord who is near.
Cong: Let the wicked forsake their way and the unrighteous their thoughts;
Leader: Let them return, that the Lord may have mercy on them; that our God may abundantly pardon
All: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Opening Prayer— (Unison)
Come, my light, and Illumine my darkness. Come my life, and revive me from death. Come, my doctor, and heal my wounds. Come, flame of divine love and burn up the thorns of my sins, kindling my heart with the flame of thy love. Come my King, sit upon the throne of my heart and reign there, for you alone are my God. Amen.
