CALL TO WORSHIP   
Leader: One: God gives us one day at a time:
People: Long enough for laughter to follow tears;
Leader: Deep enough for prayer and silence to pray
             together;
People: Time enough to help someone in need;
Leader: Plenty of time to notice beauty and praise the
             Maker;
People: Sufficient time to build a bridge of    
      forgiveness or tear down a wall of resentment;
Leader: The right time to embrace friends, smile at
         strangers, play with children, sing praise to God.
People: Praise God for this day we are given.

CALL TO CONFESSION
Let us confess our sins before a merciful God:
 PRAYER OF CONFESSION               (UNISON)
Lord, forgive us for not realizing the kingdom of God unfolds in open places.  Forgive us for not realizing that the empty places in body and soul are the fertile soil for new growth. Forgive us for filling our lives to capacity, failing to recognize what is missing. Forgive us for not seeing that the ache of love lost is witness to the seed planted. Forgive us for not appreciating the pain of grief, for the fullness of love is woven with sorrow. Forgive us for the rejection of others who keep us mindful of that beyond.   Bless you for giving us the harmony of life in the Spirit,  for we will recognize true abundance. Amen.
*Time of silent prayer.
Assurance of Pardon
In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Alleluia! Amen.
*Passing the Peace
L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
P: And also, with you.

Remember our food Collection. And Jesus said, “You give them something to eat.”
Please let Betty Fisher know of anyone within the Community that may be in need at this time.

Please remember, if there is anything you want on the Joys and Concerns page let me know by Wednesday night. You can email me at [email protected].

Hi everyone, I would like to schedule a meeting next Thursday, February 2, to talk about restarting the choir. If you know of anyone else who might be interested, please let them know they can come as well. I was thinking of holding it during the day since I am off work that day, but if you want to meet later, we can do that. I’m thinking about noon, but I’m open to whatever time fits most schedules. Let me know.
Thanks,
Don Herschell
