Call to worship prayer
(a short prayer suitable to say just before worshipping God in song)
Father God,
You have created us to be makers of music! Thank you for the sounds of heaven that connect us to your eternal Kingdom. We thank you for the birdsong, for the breaking waves upon a shore, for the sound of laughter and for the songs you have given us. And we thank you that we can sing to you now, that our hearts can soar to you in melody, and our voices can rise to you in harmony.
Come take our lives now. May the worship of our hearts be a sweet lullaby in your ear.
Amen.

As We Gather Here
As we gather here in the harbour of your safety
We thank you for fellowship and family.
We ask that you will strengthen us, restore us and inspire us with your love.
Lord, would fill us with your peace
So that as we journey onwards
We would pour out your love and grace to others.
We ask that our souls would catch the wind of your spirit
so that we would take your promises to all the earth.
Amen.
