Holy God, You have all power, such as to create all that is, yet in Jesus, you humbled yourself and became a finite human and a servant of all. Give us the humility both to recognize our limitations, and to joyfully serve others without expectation of return. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

SENDING
*Closing Song Lord Speak to Me UMH 463
- Lord, speak to me,
that I may speak
in living echoes
of thy tone;
as thou hast sought,
so let me seek thine
erring children
lost and lone.
- O strengthen me,
that while I stand
firm on the rock,
and strong in thee,
I may stretch out
a loving hand
to wrestlers with
the troubled sea. - O teach me, Lord,
that I may teach
the precious things
thou dost impart;
and wing my words,
that they may reach
the hidden depths
of many a heart. - O fill me with
thy fullness, Lord,
until my very
heart o’erflow
in kindling thought
and glowing word,
thy love to tell,
thy praise to show. - O use me, Lord,
use even me,
just as thou wilt,
and when, and where,
until thy blessed
face I see,
thy rest, thy joy,
thy glory share.
