Prelude:      Choir                             
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:     from Psalm 42
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for You, O God.
    My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
    Where can I go? When can I go and meet with God?
I used to lead the procession of the multitude to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
    Put your hope in God and do not be disturbed.
    I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
All your waves and breakers have swept over me.
    By day the Lord directs His Love,
    at night His song is with me—He is the God of my life.
   
INVOCATION

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:           (unison)
As the deer pants for the water, so my soul pants after You, O God.  I need You every hour, Most Precious Lord. And yet I put myself before You.  I share my needs with You, but I do not share my joys. I call to You for help and strength; yet I savor the successes to myself.
 
Help me to acknowledge You at all times, O my God.
Help me to not only call to You in my failures.  I am sorry.
I am a failed and fragile person.  You know that right well.
Thank You, O Blessed One, for always forgiving me.
