God of the marginalized,
Allow us to become tentative to your sprit this morning as we seek to know you more. Transform our mundane words, songs and prayers into a glorious sound called worship. Be in our midst now as we seek to find you.
God, we pray this morning that you would continue to shape us and form us into the people you call us to be. We pray that You would convict us in our communion with others so that we might know what it truly means to be a servant for others. I pray that you would continue to place in our lives the people and the opportunities that shape our Christian lives of service, justice and mercy, and to reconcile us with You when we fall short.
We pray for all those this morning worshipping down the hall. We pray that they, along with us, might come into this place thirsty for an encounter with the Holy.
We pray for those this morning who might be hurting, sick or in need. We pray that your spirit would comfort them and heal them wherever they are in life, and that your abundant grace would wash over them like water.
We give thanks God for each servant here at Noel Memorial United Methodist Church. We give thanks for their servant hearts, hands and voices. We give thanks to those who give of themselves for your service. Allow us to be transformed and renewed again and again by your Scriptures.
God we know that we are a busy people … allow us to slow down just for a moment to rest in you……
