God of grace, we offer our prayers for the needs of others and commit ourselves to serve them even as we have been served in Jesus Christ.  Especially we pray for

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.

Hymn

O blood of Christ

perennial witness

witness to sabbath rests

tucked into the folds

nestled into the shadows of these desert hills

witness to refreshing paths

witness to the willing heart

within me that would run barefoot

seeking, assured, hoping, thrilled

to find all that there is that is not condemnation
