Gloria Patri #70 Hymnal

Opening Prayer in unison: By your gracious Spirit, O God, move in us today. We come before you as mere mortals; fill us with your power so that this world might see you in each of us. May this time of worship be consecrated to you and to your glory. We pray in the name of Christ our Lord, AMEN.

Morning Prayer - Lord's Prayer in unison
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

Prayer of Thanksgiving in unison: Through your Holy Spirit, O God, we can do all things–even those things that seem beyond human strength. We bring our gifts before you in the power of the Spirit. We trust you to take them and to use them for your good pleasure. We offer them and ourselves to you in the powerful name of Jesus, AMEN.

Message Text       Zechariah 4:1-6

Message       "By the Spirit of God"

Prayer of Confession in unison: Holy God, it is so easy to rely on our own power and to give ourselves all the credit. Help us to see that all we do is done in the power and the strength you provide.
