Preparing Our Hearts

Invocation: Our Prayer of Acclamation Eternal God and Father, you are the God of the truth, of the Holy Scriptures, which record and declare your works in the sending of your Son. The Bible is the script of your unfolding drama, and through your servants, the prophets and apostles, you have given us a clear and authoritative account of how you created all things and determined to rescue your people through your Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Open up our hearts to hear the word of your apostles, to cling to their word, and so believe in Christ your Son for salvation and hope. In his name we pray, amen. Call toWorship Blessed are you, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed is your Kingdom, both now and forever, amen. Te Deum Laudamus You are God: we praise you; you are the Lord; we acclaim you; you are the eternal Father: All creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you; Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide. Praising Our God
