GREETING / INTRODUCTIONS OPENING PRAYER Lisa Cockerell SPRC Chair Shelly Gonzales CALL TO WORSHIP Shelly Gonzales Leader: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Leader: Let us adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus: People: Though he was in the form of God, he did not consider being equal with God something to exploit. Leader: But he emptied himself by taking the form of a slave and by becoming like human beings. People: When he found himself in the form of a human, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Leader: Therefore, God highly honored him and gave him a name above all names, People: so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth might bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen. OPENING PRAISE America the Beautiful #696 vs 1 & 3 This Is My Song #437 vs 1 & 3 God Bless America (Chorus) Congregation 2
