WELCOME TO WORSHIP
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Paul’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news of God’s forgiveness through Jesus.
PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR TODAY’S WORSHIP
Lord, there are so many worries and fears that swirl around me, and I often sink into doubting your power and grace. Speak your powerful Word to my wavering mind and heart that I can trust in your love for me. Lift my voice today to cry out for your mercy and to praise you with awe and joy for your unchanging, ever-standing grace in Christ. In his name I pray. Amen.
