Hymn: Where He Leads Me Call to Worship We hear a divine melody and feel an inner pull that draws us closer to you, Oh God. We come this morning looking for the companionship that comes with being a Christian. We ask for the guidance of your Holy Spirit to lead us each new day that we are given. We come this day sharing the love and joy of life and all that it gives us each amazing day. Prayer of Confession Holy God, your love is like a gentle wind that is forever guiding us along. Yet how often we turn away from your support and attempt to push ahead in our own way. We prefer our plans and miss seeing how we might cooperate with your guidance. We believe that it is by our own efforts that we accomplish the deed or possess the reward. We miss the spirit of joyful thanksgiving. We live without gratitude and languish in isolation. Keep our sails turned toward you as we move toward joy and wholeness as a united community. Time of Personal Reflection Assurance of Pardon In Christ there is no east or west, In him no south or north, But one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth. In Jesus Christ, there is new life. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Hymn: Have Thine Own Way, Lord Apostle's Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. On the third day he arose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
