*CALL TO WORSHIP:
L: Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world.
P: Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
L: Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is.
P: His good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2)
*INVOCATION
Dear Lord of transformation, renew our mind by Your Spirit. Ultimately, our lives are in Your hands and at death we must trust You. Yet, You require us to put our lives into Your hands before we die. Help us to totally trust You with our lives now. Then we may have peace that passes all understanding. We place our lives into Your hands now and trust You to provide for us, bless us, heal us and prepare a place for us. In Christ's Name we pray and trust, Amen.
