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.

Prelude Music Director Bob Senay
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Call to Worship: Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still and quiet waters, He restores the strength in my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear No evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff bring me comfort. You prepare a table before me right in front of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, and my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me every day of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
* Hymn “O God, Our Help in Ages Past” #687
Prayer of Confession (unison) Great God, You are so faithful to us; Your promises are sure and certain; You bring us comfort. Yet Lord, we confess that our promises are unsure and wavering; Our moods and our commitment to You change like the weather. Forgive us, Lord Help us to be people who make promises and keep them. Help us to be people of Your word and our word. Forgive us our sins. We thank You for giving Your life and death for us and proving Your word by Your resurrection. * Time of silent prayer *Assurance Of Pardon: L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. P: And also, with you! Response – Gloria Patri (page 581) Passing the Peace Children’s Chat Prayer for illumination Scripture reading: Romans 15: 1 – 7 ll Timothy 3: 1 – 5, 10 – 17

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude Bob Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP L: We Have come here to testify to Your love; P: Come to us, living God, and shine Your light. L: We have seen Your glory, full of grace and truth; P: Come to us, living God, and shine Your light. L: From Your fullness we have received every grace; P: Come to us; living God, and shine Your light in our darkness. INVOCATION Rev. Mason
* HYMN “Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty” # 35
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON) Gracious God, the disciples left all they had to follow the long-awaited Messiah. You promised them hardship, rejection, a loss of comfort, hostility, suffering and finally, a cross to carry. We worry when we cannot see where You are leading; we question “why” when suffering comes; and ignore the parts of the gospel that disrupt our sense of security. Forgive us, Lord. Forgive our selfish desire to have it both ways - to follow but at no cost; to claim You but not risk anything on Your behalf; to embrace new life without experiencing the garden of Gethsemane. Remind us that we live not for ourselves but for the world, in Your stead. By the power of Your Spirit, help us be Your disciples in the word and deed. Amen * Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri (Hymnal page 581) *Passing the Peace L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. P: And also, with you.
