Call to Worship (A Prayer of Gratitude)
O God, from you come all good desires and deeds; 
We thank you for your loving forgiveness of us, and for your presence embracing us even when we are unaware. 
Give to us, we pray, that peace which only you can give; help our hearts yearn to forgive others and to seek their forgiveness of us; help our hearts yearn to follow all your ways; and grant that we may live in true peace with you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
