* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Chris Henry
Leader: Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your
presence?
People: If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
Leader: If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of
the sea,
People: Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand
shall hold me fast.
All: Thanks be to God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 478 Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess our sinfulness, our
shortcomings, and our offenses against you. You alone know how often we
have sinned in wandering from your ways, in wasting your gifts, in forgetting
your love.
Have mercy on us, O God of great compassion, for we are ashamed and sorry
for all we have done to displease you. Forgive our sins, and help us to live in
your light, and walk in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in
the Beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Leader: These children have now been received into the one holy catholic and apostolic
church through baptism. God has made them members of the household of God. See
what love the Father has for us, that we should be called children of God, and so we
are. Let us welcome the newly baptized.
People: With joy and thanksgiving we welcome these children into Christ’s
church. We are the family of God for we are all one in Christ.
