Opening Prayer: Holy God, make your presence known to us today. We come to you as we are, called to be holy, yet, so often, less than that. As we worship, help us let go of those sins to which we cling. Help us to know and experience that power that sets us free from the things of this world. We come to you in the blessed name of Jesus our Savior, AMEN.
