*Call to Worship Hannah Grammon

L: The season of Lent can be barren and lonely,
P: but God goes with us through the wilderness.
L: Our lives are lived in seasons of transitions and transformations.
P: Lent is a time to ponder God's providence and persistence.
L: Together, we seek fruitfulness, for it has been promised to us;
P: the barrenness of Lent will give way to the fruitfulness of Easter.
L: In this season of penitence and pondering, let us gather before God.
P: We come, as a family, to wait for the Lord with strength and courage.
L: Come, let us worship God!

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as

we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from

evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise Him all creatures here below;

Praise Him above ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

*Blessing of the Offering (Unison)

Having been blessed by you, Loving God, we will not waste our gifts but offer

them back to you, so the parched throats might be soothed by your grace,

the hungry feed on your bounty, and the stranger welcomed as family who

have been away for too long. This we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
