The music playlists will be a little shorter this week due to inadequate recordings of certain songs. God of Creation, All Powerful is to the tune of Be Thou My Vision if you would like to sing along to it. I was not able to find a recording of God in Heaven but have included another song for your enjoyment. God bless you as you worship him today.

PRAYER OF INVOCATION
O God, you are our only true refuge, our steadfast shelter. We seek you and need you and yearn for you. Even when we run from you; even when we wander long and far from you heart and squander our blessings and talents; even then you continue to call us home. We want to come home to you, O God and to each other. Show us the way; be the path; return us to the calm and peace of resting in your love. Amen.
