HYMN “Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above” #645
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON) You call us to become pilgrims, to follow you in a journey of faith. We would find it easier to follow when not so much is at stake.

Yet we cling to our possessions, trusting in them for security instead. O God, your way is challenging when we choose to be complacent. You make great demands; we are anxious and uncertain. Have mercy upon us and forgive our hesitant steps toward the promise. We ask this in the name of Christ, our Savior. * Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri (Hymnal page 581) *Passing the Peace L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
