Unison Prayer for Today (please stand) Creator of all, we come before you this Labor Day, with gratitude for the work you have given us. Thank you for the skills, opportunities, and resources that allow us to contribute meaningfully to our lives and lives of others. We recall the scripture, Whatever you do, work at it with all your heard, as working for the Lord, no human masters. Alleluia Amen!

Leader: Welcome, Beloved of God! For truly you are deeply wonderfully, beautifully loved by the God of all creation!
People: Come, let us worship God who loves us!
Leader: Whether your week was filled with mountain-high joys or valley-low sorrows, peace like a gently flowing river, or stress like a stormy gale, this is the time to rise and come away to worship God who sustains and tends to you.
People: Come, let us worship God who loves us and tends to us!
Leader: In a world that pulls us this way and that, God's love is our True North, guiding us with an uncommon wisdom through all that life brings us.
All: Come, let us worship and sing to the God who guides us with his lamp of love, tenderness and forgiveness. To your glory, Amen!
