You are invited to find a worshipful spot and join us in this 6-step personal worship experience through scripture, sermon, music, prayer, communion and giving. We hope this experience will assist you in connecting with your Lord.
Before starting, consider gathering elements for communion – something to eat and drink in remembrance of Christ our Lord.

Prayer
Take some quiet time to commune with God. You may find comfort in using the Lord’s Prayer to help get started or to close your prayer.
Pray like this:
Our Father who is in heaven, uphold the holiness of your name. Bring in your kingdom so that your will is done on earth as it’s done in heaven. Give us the bread we need for today. Forgive us for the ways we have wronged you, just as we also forgive those who have wronged us. And don’t lead us into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
– Mathew 6:9-13 (CEB)
