THE PRELUDE Walter Huff
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Christopher Henry
Leader: By this we know that we love the children of God,
People: When we love God and obey his commandments.
Leader: And his commandments are not burdensome,
People: for whatever is born of God conquers the world.

People: And also with you.

Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word,
and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and
strength; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive
what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be,
so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your
holy name. Amen.
