PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Lord of Life and Mercy, we confess before You and one another that we have not Your light in us enough to be good alone, we quickly lose our way in both excess and negligence, we have not eyes of our heart to see others as You do, we are quick to excuse ourselves and brood over the sins of others, we do not think of the harm and suffering we have caused others, and we are not able to keep ourselves in true peace of mind because of our sins. Have mercy on us, Christ, and bring us to know You and have everlasting life.

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
O God, In lowliness of heart I ask You to drown my sins in the sea of Your infinite love. My failure to be true to my own acceptable standards. My power to deceive myself in the face of temptation. My failure to apply to myself the conduct that I demand of others. My blindness to the suffering of others and my slowness to learn from my own.

Hymn: “Open My Eyes, That I May See # 451
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Almighty God, though we know better, we have walked the roads of life without recognizing You and Your care in our lives. We have worried about our own needs and desires rather than hearing You. Too often, Lord, we have sought to love and serve ourselves and made idols our of things of this world. So, this day, we confess that we are in need of Your grace for forgiveness, for transformation. Open our eyes that we may see You and respond, knowing that Your righteousness extends to us and therefore, we seek to live by that same righteousness. For we pray in the name of Jesus, the Christ we pray.

Session will meet Monday night at 7 pm. April 20th. Cheryl Bell is asking prayers for her cousin in Florida, Susan Aliberti, in hospital very sick. Let’s see what a lot of prayers can accomplish. From Rev. Scott Shetter: This year, we joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK walk. With Kimberly’s diagnosis two years ago, this fight has come to the forefront of our attention. So many millions of women are diagnosed each year. No matter the level of diagnosis, the physical, mental, and emotional toll are exacting. Medications are rough on the body no matter whether it is Chemo, radiation, or hormone suppressants. Each woman has heir own journey and survivors must heal at their own unique pace.Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of our fundraising efforts. Ending breast cancer needs all of us, and your generosity can make a real difference. Will you please join us in his fight by making your donation today?

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Merciful and just God, I open my heart to You as a means to make me hate the sins confessed. I confess to the indulgence in my flesh, to times of not being truthful, to uncharitable habits. I confess to taking the wrong path at times, to allowing evil thoughts to stay in my mind. I confess to lack of love for the neighbor, to taking a wrong path, to going my own way. God, let me feel Your h.`and guiding my life, freeing me from the grip of bad habits, to make me pure in heart, and let Christ be formed in me through faith and goodness all the days of my life. I ask for all of this in Your Holy Name.

Prelude: Toni Sears “Easter Song” CALL TO WORSHIP: We are here today because the weeping Mary Magdala once said: “I have seen the Lord!” We are here because Jesus still comes into our locked spaces and says “Peace be with You. Receive the Holy Spirit.” We are here today like doubting Thomas who finally cried: “My Lord and my God” We are here like Peter, tempted to forget the call of Jesus: I’m going fishing.” We are here this morning because of Jesus, who asks us face-to-face : “do you truly love me?” We gather here to whisper timidly. “Yes, Lord, You know that we love You.” All: we are here as a congregation only because many faithful disciples have listened to Jesus’ words: “Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid! Go and tell. ‘Jesus has been raised!” INVOCATION
*Hymn: “Jesus Christ is Risen Today” # 232
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: We listen to the news, read the newspaper, and wonder of peace will ever reign in Your world, Lord. Today we have been invited to be with the disciples in that hidden place where they also wondered about peace and hope. You broke through. You shattered the darkness and they were astonished again. Help us to understand that You will bring peace to each one of us. Forgive all those times when we treat this moment of revelation as though it was impossible. Give us the courage to reach out to You and touch our hearts once again. For we ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 Passing of the Peace Scripture: John 20: 24-30 *Hymn: “Christ is Risen! Shout Hosanna” # 248 Offertory “2 song medley” “See What a Morning and “Redeemed How I Love To Proclaim It” *Doxology Prayer of dedication Joys and Concerns Pastoral Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer Hymn; “Crown Him With Many Crowns” #268 Benediction Postlude; Toni Sears “Praise Our God” |
