Worship Resource Overall Theme: Renew Call to Worship: The Prophet Isaiah reminds us: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV) Let us worship our God who constantly renews our minds and spirits, our lives.
Opening Prayer All gracious God, you are the source of hope and strength. You formed the world and formed us as a people, your people, making us in your image. We praise you for you are such an amazing Father. Like a rock that is immoveable, you stand in our midst, calling us to gather near your unchangeable love. Your faithfulness toward the world is beyond our understanding. As we worship you, acknowledging your sovereignty, we seek to be renewed in your presence. Make a way in the wilderness of our lives, that we may see you more clearly, fill our dry land that we may become resplendent with the colours of your love. On this day when we celebrate our larger Canadian Baptist family, let your Holy Spirit flow freely within our souls so that our faith may be strengthen and our witness be evident to all. Renew us from within so that we may become vibrant with life, your life we ask in the name of the One who came to save us, Jesus Christ who we proclaim Lord. Amen.
