Covenant Congregational Church

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom
come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive sinners. Do not
bring us times of trial but rescue us from the evil one. For Your’s is
the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

*INVOCATION
We give You thanks for all the ways that You bless our lives: the beauty and
abundance of nature, the love of family and friends, the joy of knowing You
and hearing Your word. Like on that first day of Pentecost, send down Your
Holy Spirit during this time of worship so that we might dream Your dreams
and see visions of the world as You created and desire it to be. Guide our
thoughts and actions. Bring us closer to You so that we might do Your will
and dwell in Your house forever. Amen.

A Child’s Prayer for Morning
Now, before I run to play, let me not forget to pray.

Welcome to worship on this Children’s Sunday! As our Sunday School year comes
to a close, our children lead us in worship and share some of what they have learned
through the year. We are thankful that God gives us the privilege of being in a
community in which young and old can learn from, worship with, and serve
alongside one another.
The red geraniums are a Children’s Sunday tradition in our church since 1902.
Each child is invited to take one home at the conclusion of the service.
