* Call to Worship Leader: We are gathered in the presence of God, who asks us to choose between life and death, blessing and curse. People: We are gathered like the people of Israel, who were challenged to choose the way of life. Leader: Like them, we often follow the ways of death. People: Yet, like them, we have the freedom each day to begin anew by the grace of God. Leader: By our presence here, we are saying that we choose life one more time. All: Let us praise the God of love and life who has called us to this place. Amen. * Processional Hymn
God of the Ages
UMH 698, vv. 1, 2, 4
* Morning Prayer
O God, your will is that all your children should grow into fullness of life. We lift to you the ministry of scouting. We offer you thanks for camping, to teach us that the world is our great home; for study and work, to build character; for service, to see our responsibility to those in need; for encouragement in genuine patriotism and vital faith. Bless the work of scouting, in this place and around the world, that, through its efforts, the young may, like our Lord, increase in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with you and all people. Amen. Hebrew Bible Reading Children’s Moment

Jesus Loves the Little Children Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
