CALL TO WORSHIP  

Leader: Gathered here are the people of God who come to sing,  

            praise and seek guidance for the lives we live. 

People: Gathered here are the people of God who come in  

             joy and sorrow, in peace and despair. 

Leader: Gathered here are the people of God who come in  

             thanksgiving. 

People: We are the people of God! We give gratitude for  

              this day which will not dawn again.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION               (UNISON) 

Lord, settle us down as we come to you in this time of prayer. We confess that we are so prone to plan our responses that we don't really listen –– to you or to each other. We acknowledge that we are quick to speak, and slow to seek forgiveness for what we have said. We admit we are hasty in our actions, and reluctant to confess the error of our ways. We confess that we are quick to judge and lack the courage to hear the whole story when we have judged wrongly. Turn us around, O God. Grant us the grace to listen with love, to think with compassion, to pause and consider, to be a person others turn toinstead of away from. May the Holy Spirit be our guide in all we do and say, AMEN  





Assurance of Pardon 

*Time of silent prayer 

  In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!  

* Response – Gloria Patri 

*Passing the Peace 


L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  

P: And also, with you.

 The Word of God 

Prayer for Illumination 

Scripture reading           Ephesians  1: 15-23  ​
Thanksgiving and Prayer
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
L: The Word of the Lord 

                     P: Thanks be to God!

Prelude                     Music Director               Robert Senay
ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
CALL TO WORSHIP                                from Psalm 8
O Lord, Our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth
You have set Your glory above the heavens.
   O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the   
   earth!  From the lips of children and infants, You have                
   ordained praise.     
When I consider Your heavens, and work of Your fingers, the
Moon and the stars, which You have set in place,
   Who are men and women that You are mindful of them?
   Who are our sons and daughters that You care for them?
You have made us a little lower than the angels, and crowned men and women with glory and honor.
   You have made us ruler over ethe works of Your hands, 
   O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the
   earth!
