Home Worship
This is not live-streamed worship, happening in real time as you are at home, but it is a way we can bind together through worship. Everything posted here in Home Worship has been compiled by Highland Park laity and staff, with the hope of helping you feel closer to one another, and helping you draw closer to Almighty God, who is always with us.
May God bless you and keep you.
Now, let’s worship together.

June 21, 2020 Father's Day
Call to Worship (from Isaiah 63)
I will tell of the Lord’s unfailing love.
I will praise God for all that he has done--
his great goodness to his people,
and his many acts of faithful love.
For he is our Father,
our Redeemer from ages past.

A Video and Prayer for Father's Day
For our fathers, who have given us life and love, that we show them respect and love, we pray to the Lord...
For fathers who have lost a child through death, that their faith may give them hope, and their family and friends support and console them, we pray to the Lord...
For men, though without children of their own, who like fathers have nurtured and cared for us, we pray to the Lord...
For fathers, who have been unable to be a source of strength, who have not responded to their children and have not sustained their families, we pray to the Lord...
God our Father, in your wisdom and love You made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
