Call To Worship (Psalm 150)
One: Praise the LORD! Praise God in the sanctuary; praise God in the mighty firmament!
All: Praise God for God’s mighty deeds; praise God according to God’s surpassing greatness!
One: Praise God with trumpet sound; praise God with lute and harp!
All: Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!
One: Praise God with clanging cymbals; praise God with loud clashing cymbals!
All: Let everything that breathes praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD!
Gathering Prayer
Lord of the dance, we thank you for the mystery of life. We thank you for Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit: three-in-one, one-in-three, a dance of relationship designed to confound our reasoning. Teach us to trust our bodies. Teach us to embrace our humanity. Inspire us to playful acts of creation, for we are created in your image, God. You look upon your creation with love, and, behold, it is very good. Amen.
Prayer of Dedication
Holy Mystery, we give in response to your limitless self-giving. Moment by moment you fill the universe to overflowing. We praise you for your unsurpassing greatness. Amen.
