CALL TO WORSHIP
L: Whoever is in Christ is a new creation. 
P: The old has gone; the new has come!
L:  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself
     through Christ. 
P: We receive God’s ministry of reconciliation and
     commit to spreading the message.
L:  As God counts not our sins against us, neither do 
     we count others’ sins against them.
All: We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors as God
      Makes his appeal through us.
      
INVOCATION                                            Rev. Mason

* HYMN      “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah     # 65


* PRAYER OF CONFESSION               (UNISON)
 Holy and loving God, anger is often our weak spot. It
 fuels our resentments.  It prevents us from letting go.
 It feeds our self-righteousness.  We cling to anger as
 if it could save us, hoping it will protect us from pain
and loss.  But, it is all folly.  Salvation is in trusting
You to make all things right.  Hope is found in keeping
our eyes on You and on what You have done for us,
rather than on others and how they have let us down.
Forgive our short-sighted and self-inflicted foolishness,
Lord, Restore us in love and grace to trust you in all things.

* Time of silent prayer

*Assurance of Pardon
*Response – Gloria Patri  (Hymnal page 581)
*Passing the Peace

L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 
P: And also, with you.
