Labour Day Call to Worship
August 31, 2013
Psalm 90.17: Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands– O prosper the work of our hands!
Our God, in the glory of late summer
we come to worship
revelling in the beauty of your handiwork.
Give us insight this morning
into how the work of our hands
is part of the work of your hands.
We join with you in lifting the heavyhearted,
comforting the sorrowful,
and calming the anxious.
Fill us with the joy of service this morning.
We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Amen.
