Greetings of Grace and Peace:
Call to Worship:
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing.
Know that the LORD is God. It is he that made us and we are his.
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever;
And his faithfulness to all generations. Amen
Thanksgiving Poem
Opening Prayer:
What mighty praise belongs to You, O God, for Your acts of love and faithfulness toward us! In Your mercy You hear our prayers, You forgive our sins, You provide for our needs. From one end of the earth to the other, You inspire worship and praise! Even nature celebrates Your goodness. We, too, would offer our praise and thanksgiving for Your mercy and Your faithful love toward us. Receive our adoration, our confession, our thanksgiving. Through the power of Your Holy Spirit make Your presence known among us that we may hear Your Word and know Your will. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Praise in Song
Thanksgiving Litany
Today we offer our thanksgiving and gratitude to the Giver of all good and perfect gifts,
For the tables we share and the bread we partake of within our communities, within our families, and within our homes,
For the hands of friendship that have been extended to us and the grace we have received,
For Your continual provision in our lives,
For the embrace of love,
For Your mercies that are new at dawn and sustain us through the day, echoing through the night,
For the gift of Your Son and His blood poured out.
For the new life that beats within us now.
In all things, we give You thanks and join with creation’s song,
Great is the Lord and most worthy to be praised!
