Prelude
Announcements:
Choir
Call to Worship:
We have gathered to rejoice in our oneness in Jesus Christ!  Each of us experiences faith and life in a unique
Way.
      Yet we have one God, one faith and one baptism, and      
      One Spirit who unites us all.
Let us lift our hearts as one, in songs of praise, in prayer, and in listening for God’s Word.
      Even when we leave this place, let us be joined in
      Common concern for humanity, like that shown by
      Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
INVOCATION

*Prayer of Confession:      Unison
Jesus, we want to live like You.  We cannot do that on our own.  We need Your mercy and grace day after day after day.  We confess our weakness; we continually give into temptation But rather than throw up our hands in failure, we choose to admit our constant need for You.  Demonstrate Your power through our weakness.  You have defeated our sin by Your death on the cross.  Let us live in the truth of who we are in You, not who we were before.  Make us holy; make us like You. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP     from Psalm 31
In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge; deliver me.
Let me never be put to shame.
     Turn Your ear to me and come quickly to my rescue.
     Be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
For the sake of Your Name lead and guide me.
Free me from the trap that is set for me.
     Into Your hands I commit my spirit.
     I will be glad and rejoice in Your love.
Let Your face shine on Your faithful servant;
Save me in Your unfailing love.
     How great is Your goodness, O Loving God;
     Which You have stored up for those who fear You.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION               unision
Most Merciful God, here I am again, I have sinned.
I have failed You.  I have put myself before others.
I have put myself before You. I have ignored loving
My neighbor as myself—I have only loved myself.
 
Forgive me.  Wash me white as snow from my sins.
Help me in the times I do not believe.  Help me be
a new creation in you.  I long to love myself less and
You more.  I always love You that You hear me.
In Your precious Name I pray.

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.
INVOCATION
* 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.

Gathering  Around  the  Word
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
