Invocation

Holy One,

Draw us close to you.

Speak life into our lives.

Move the mountains of injustice in our world. 

Calm the storms of hate and fear.

Draw us together by the power of your Holy Spirit.

Build us up in humility and hope.

Guide our steps.

Give us courage to live like Jesus.

By the power of the One who was,

and is,

and is to come. 

Amen. 

Invocation

Imminent and transcendent God, 

We welcome you to our church today.

Center our hearts and our minds.

Help us devote ourselves fully to you.

Help us surrender our agenda and our will to yours.

Send your Holy Spirit

to bless and convict us.

In Jesus' name we pray,

amen.
