Opening Prayer
Lord, give me the opportunity to name myself
once again a Christian, to make a decision for you, in every action, every word
I speak, every attitude I represent.
Today, you claim me. May I honor
you and glorify you in this time of worship.
May I be sustained in your loving presence. Amen.

power and the glory forever. Amen.
