THE PRELUDE Walter Huff
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Christopher Henry
Leader: There are different gifts, but the same Spirit who gives them.
People: There are different ways of serving God, but it is the same
Lord who is served.
Leader: God works through different people in different ways, but it is the same
God who achieves his purpose through them all.
People: Each one is given a gift by the Spirit, to use it for the common
good.
All: Together we are the body of Christ. Let us worship God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 68 What Star Is This, with Beams So Bright?
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty God: in Jesus Christ you called us to be a servant people, but we do
not do what you command. We are often silent when we should speak, and
useless when we could be useful. We are lazy servants, timid and heartless,
who turn neighbors away from your love. Have mercy on us, O God, and,
though we do not deserve your care, forgive us, and free us from sin; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
