*Prayer of the Day (All Together)
Source of faithful love, you redeem us from our wrongs. We come before you today, eager to be refreshed in body and to be made whole in spirit. Feed us from the living bread that comes down from heaven, for we are drawn to your Son as steel is drawn to a magnet. Build up our community of faith through the power of the Holy Spirit, that we live as those who are worthy of your calling…Amen
