Opening Prayer
Psalm 30:6-10(Common English Bible)
When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.” Lord, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help. ” Amen.
Scripture Reading:
Hymn
“Jesus Paid It All” Worship & Song 3100 (Verse 1)
I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.”
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.
Closing Prayer
Prayer by Rev. Dale Fredrickson
You have power, swinging with you, a defiant wind
Love in your wings
Where there is evil, injustice, and opposition
Be the voice, the velocity That stirs the earth
The lament That heals people
The poem That dreams again
The hurricane Of resistance
For those who cannot breathe. Amen
