P: Blessed be God who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing. L: Before the world was made, God chose us in Christ to be holy and blameless before the Lord in love.

To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. *OPENING PRAYER Wondrous God, our hearts are full of praise for all of the glorious things you have given to us. When we look upon your creation, we realize that it reflects your glory. When we experience the gift of a parent s love, we are reminded of your tender love for us. When we worship in the great congregation of all who name you as Lord, we are blessed to be counted among your children. Hear our prayer of joy and thanksgiving this day, and sustain in us grateful hearts, that we might praise you eternally. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
