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

*HYMN       God of the Ages                            # 331
*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.
