CALL TO WORSHIP                                                                                        
P: God is calling us today.
L:  Why is God calling us?
P: To be the church, people united by God in faith.
L:  For what purpose would God do such a thing?
P: Because God has given each member a gift to share, so that if we all come together and lean on one another, then we can become all that God has called us to be.
 
INVOCATION                                                             Rev. Mason
*HYMN        Blest Be the Tie that Binds                     # 306
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)
We confess to you, renewing Spirit, that we confuse unity with uniformity and diversity with divisiveness. We speak and behave as if being a part of your family means assimilating others to our way of living. We deny and destroy the beauty you created in each person. We long to change these patterns, O Creator, but we do not know how. Teach us to value challenge. Help us to see strength in difference. And empower us to build your kingdom in creativity and love. Amen.
 
*Time of silent prayer.
