Call to Worship: Psalm 127
Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
Congregational Prayer:
God our creator, you know us better than we know ourselves. You instilled in us the image of yourself and each of us is worth far more than we can imagine. Help us to never lose sight of that value. Open our hearts to receive one another and to love as you have loved. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
