Third Sunday in Lent
Rev George Reed
Reflection: Do I see the community I live in as a holy task?
Greeting
Prelude How Beautiful Peggy Bast/Organ
Call to Worship
The heavens are telling the glory of God.
The firmament proclaims God’s handiwork.
The law of God is perfect, reviving the soul.
The decrees of God are sure, making wise the simple.
Let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable to you, O God, our rock and our redeemer.
Prayer for the Day
Let us pray:
O God who is Three in One:
Grant us the grace to see that there is unity in diversity
so that we may truly live as your children together. Amen.
