Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship

Leader: This day, may worship introduce us to the God who is not only Shepherd and Rock,
People: but is also Gardener, Artist, Sculptor, Musician.

Leader: Amid the fullness of our lives, God invites us to play—
People: joining in places of creativity and laughter.

Leader: In this time together, we are met by the One who extends a hand and asks:
People: ‘Shall we dance?’

Opening Hymn

Prayer of Confession

For this series, we are praying a unison prayer rather than a prayer of confession.

O Lord our God, you have done great things, so great that we could not hide our happiness. Remind us of the times when you filled us with laughter and with songs of joy. Be with us today. Rejoice over us with gladness. Renew us with love. Lead us as we laugh and sing, so that all the world might hear and praise you together with us. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
