Gathering Around the Word
Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS Choir CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 30 I will exalt You, Lord, for You lifted me out of the depths. You did not let my enemies gloat over me. Lord my God, I called to You for help, and you healed me. You spared me from going to the depths of hell. Sing the praises of the Lord, you His faithful people. Praise His holy Name everywhere! For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Rejoicing comes in the morning. Lord, when You favored me, You made my royal mountain stand firm; but when You hid Your face, I was dismayed. Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help. You turned my wailing into dancing; You clothed me with Joy.

* HYMN “When Morning Gilds the Skies” # 667 * PRAYER OF CONFESSION unison Holy Father, forgive us. We have selfishly let You down. Though You should guide us, we inform ourselves. Though You should fulfill us, we console ourselves. We think Your truth too high, Your will too hard, Your power too remote, Your love too free. But they are not! Heal our confused minds with Your word, our troubled consciences with Your Love, and our anxious hearts with Your presence. Forgive us. We need You every hour. * Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *Passing the Peace The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also, with you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Prelude CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 31) L: Lord God, You are indeed my rock and my fortress; P: For Your name’s sake lead me and guide me. L: Take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for You are my refuge. P: Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God. INVOCATION Rev. Mason
*HYMN “ Rejoice Ye Pure in Heart” # 804
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON) Merciful and loving God, Your love for us is unconditional, yet our love for You, for others and for ourselves is often marred. We allow prejudice and pride to blind us; our brokenness remains unhealed; we cling to old stories and hurts which impede the work of reconciliation. Forgive us, we pray, for failing to trust You, for playing it safe instead of following the daring call of Your Spirit, for withholding forgiveness and grace from ourselves and others. Let Your love renews us yet again. Let the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead rekindle creative life within us and restore right relations among us. AMEN *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *Passing the Peace L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. P: And also, with you.
