things;

He alone is God.

God and glorify His name.

Opening Prayer
Father God as we gather in this time and
place, we are reminded of your mighty works and the great drama of human
history. We praise you for never giving
up on us, for loving us with a love from which nothing can separate us. May we become more aware of your activity and
presence, that we will see you more clearly at work in the midst of all the
pain and joy of our lives. Amen.
