The Prelude

§ The Call to Worship                          
Isaiah 55:1, 3; John 6:55; 7:37
Leader: Come, everyone who thirsts, Come without money and without price. Incline your ear, and come to Me, hear that your soul may live.
People:  For His flesh is true food and His blood is true drink. For on the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink."

Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.  Your will be done
       on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
        And forgive us our debts,
        as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
        but deliver us from evil;
For Yours is the kingdom, the power,
           and the glory forever.  Amen
