Easter 5C
Mother's Day Celebration
(Fourth
Sunday after Easter)
We invite you to maintain a spirit of silence as the prelude begins our service
OUR
APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”
Welcome
Call
to Worship: The Magnificant
My soul magnifies the Lord!
AND MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR!...
God's mercy is for those who fear God from generation to generation.
GOD HAS HELPED THIS SERVANT ISRAEL, IN REMEMBRANCE OF GOD'S MERCY ACCORDING TO THE PROMISES GOD MADE TO OUR ANCESTORS, TO ABRAHAM AND TO HIS DESCENDANTS FOREVER!
*Hymn: "Faith of Our Mothers"
Let
us be before our God in
silence.
Unison Prayer: Prayer of Judith
O GOD, MY GOD, HEAR ME, A WIDOW...FOR YOUR STRENGTH DOES NOT DEPEND ON NUMBERS, NOR YOUR MIGHT ON THE POWERFUL. BUT YOU ARE THE GOD OF THE LOWLY, HELPER OF THE OPPRESSED, UPHOLDER OF THE WEAK, PROTECTOR OF THE FORSAKEN, SAVIOUR OF THOSE WITHOUT HOPE. PLEASE, PLEASE, GOD OF MY ANCESTORS, LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, CREATOR OF THE WATERS, RULER OF ALL CREATION, HEAR MY PRAYER...LET YOUR WHOLE NATION AND EVERY TRIBE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOD, THE GOD OF ALL POWER AND MIGHT, AND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WHO PROTECTS PEOPLE BUT YOU ALONE!
Kyrie

LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.

LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance: Isaiah

The
Summary of God's
Law (Mark

This is the
first commandment:
HEAR O
ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
