Restore us, O God! – Lent 5
We welcome all to this place for the
worship of God and for Christian fellowship.
Let
us worship God in spirit and in truth, reaching out to one another in Christ’s
love.
We
welcome our guests and visitors and hope you will join us again soon.
We breathe.
When we come
to the end of our own human strength, vitality, and purpose, we recognize the
reality of death in and around us. God,
who is Spirit, breathes life into us, revealing God’s glory and purpose. We, and the community, are restored.
