THE PRELUDE Walter Huff
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Michael Morgan
Leader: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the
communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
People: And also with you.
Leader: Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord;
People: Let us exalt the name of the Lord together.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 457 I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art
THE CALL TO CONFESSION Carolyn Morton
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Mighty and merciful God, you have called us to be your people, and
claimed us for the service of Jesus Christ. We confess that we have not
lived up to our calling. We have been timid and frightened disciples,
forgetful of your powerful presence and the strength of your Spirit
among us. O God, forgive our foolish and sinful ways. As you have chosen
us, and claimed us in our baptisms, strengthen us anew to choose Christ’s
way in the world. Give us your Holy Spirit, that each of us may be
provided with all the gifts of grace needed to fulfill our common calling;
through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
