Prelude - These Holy Mysteries-Roger Wilson

Welcome & Announcements

*Call to Worship
Vessels, holy and whole
Broken, needing the One
Open, body and soul
Healer, come.

* Opening Hymn – “It’s Me, It’s Me, O Lord” #352

Opening Prayer
Creator God, we are bodies fashioned by your hand in your own image, shapes and colors of diverse and immense beauty. And yet too often we have ignored the sacred nature of our physical lives.

The Holy Vessels you have fashioned are tired and suffering, ravaged by months of disrupted rhythms and ailment. Our fragility has come into full view, and we are frightened. We cannot fathom the proportions of loss and so we look away, sometimes even from our own needs. Help us, Healer. Show us our strength. Forgive our inertia. Move us to move one step at a time toward greater care. In Jesus name. Amen.
