Adapted from Psalm 86

Leader: Come, Let us worship.

People:  Teach us Your ways, O Lord, that we may walk in Your truth; give us undivided hearts to revere Your name.

Leader:  We give thanks to You, O Lord our God, and we will glorify Your name forever.

People:  For Your love is great towards us; …You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Leader:  Let us worship, let us praise, let us give thanks!

Adapted from Proverbs 3:5-18

Leader:            Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

People:           Let us seek God’s will in all we do, and God will show us the paths to take.

Leader:            Everyone who finds wisdom is joyful!  Happy are those who gain understanding.

People:           Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;

                        Happy are those who hold her tightly.

All:                  Let us worship God!

Adapted from 1 John 2

Leader: This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

All: If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 

Leader: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

All: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Adapted from Revelation 15:3-4

Leader:            Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty.  

People:           Just and true are your ways, King of the ages.

Leader:            Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name?  For you alone are holy.

People:           All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.

All:                  Let us worship God!

Adapted from Multiple Scriptures

Leader:            In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,

                          Darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

People:          Centuries before Jesus walked among us,

                        The Spirit of God was promised to him, so that he would bring justice to the nations.

Leader:            Jesus sent the Spirit of truth to teach us and give us peace.

People:           At Pentecost the Spirit came, as the rush of violent wind and tongues of fire. 

All:                  That same Spirit is among us now.  Let us worship God!

Almighty God, send your Holy Spirit into our hearts, that he may govern and guide us according to your will, comfort us in all our temptations and afflictions, defend us from all error, and lead us into all truth, that we may be steadfast in the faith, increase in love and in all good works, and in the end, obtain eternal life; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
