Get Your Donkey in Gear

Our guest speaker this week is Rev. Renny Domske.

Our video recorder was a little late today, so the beginning of the announcements did not get recorded.

Gathering  Around  the  Word
 
Prelude                     Music Director               Robert Senay
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
 CALL TO WORSHIP               from Psalm 11
In the Lord I take refuge.
How can you say to me: “Flee away like a bird.”
      The wicked set their arrows against the strings to shoot
      from the shadows at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous man or woman do?
      The Lord is in His holy temple, on His heavenly throne.
      The Lord observes the sons of men and examines them.
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence His soul hates.
      For the Lord is righteous and loves justice; how joyful
      that upright men and women will see His face!

PRAYER OF CONFESSION                         (UNISON)
O Lord God, we love You.  You have given us so much.
You have given us our abilities, our energies, our very lives.
We confess that we have claimed every success to be our own.
We have failed to thank You.  We have failed to even
acknowledge Your involvement in our lives.  We have sinned.
Forgive us.  Help us to see You, to hear Your voice, and to
Include You in our successes as well as our failures. 
We love You, O Lord.  Thank You for walking every step of our lives with us
