Our Opening Prayer

Lord, as you spoke through John the Baptist, and through the prophets before him, speak now through this time of worship, and through all who will share in leading it. Behind the voices we hear, the words and the message we listen to may we hear your voice, calling, confronting, leading, loving, enthusing and enabling. Open our ears, our minds and our souls to your word of truth, the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
