THE PRELUDE Walter Huff
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Christopher Henry

All: Thanks be to God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 489 Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy God, you see us as we are, and know our inmost thoughts. We confess
that we are unworthy of your gracious care. We forget that all life comes from
you and that to you all life returns. We have not always sought or done your
will.
We have not lived as your grateful children, nor loved as Christ loved us.
Apart from you, we are nothing. Only your grace can sustain us.
Lord, in your mercy, forgive us, heal us and make us whole. Set us free from
our sin, and restore to us the joy of your salvation now and forever. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)

* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 572)
Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
