Prayer for Worship Kendra Plating

O Lord, we enter your presence from our daily lives. Some of us are out of breath from the morning rush; some are heavy from the loads we bear. We are all thankful that your mercies are new every morning. We join together to praise you for your faithfulness. Amen.

Choral Introit “Psalm 86” Carl J. Nygard Jr.

In the morning, Lord, I will sing (Alleluia)With a song that will rise from the holy place (Alleluia),

And my praises, Lord, it will bring (Alleluia);In the morning, Lord, I will sing (Alleluia).

Alleluia, Amen.
