CALL TO WORSHIP:  (Psalm 57) 
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth! 
   We will praise You, we will sing and make music to You, O God. 
We come today taking refuge in the shadow of Your wings. 
Great is Your love!  It reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness    reaches to the skies! 
Be exalted, O God! Heaven and earth sing Your praises and we will too as we come to worship. ​

*Hymn  “Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty” # 35  
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Heavenly Father, You have called us to a great hope and purpose.  You  
have invited us to abide in You in every season.  However, we allow 
distractions to drag us away from Your presence.  Instead of turning to  
You, we indulge our worries, frustrations, and disappointments.  Forgive us when we seek shelter in our own comfort and control.  Teach us again to trust You, O God, our Protector and Provider.  In Jesus’ name we pray. 
AMEN
