CALL TO WORSHIP     from Psalm 30
I will exalt You, Lord, for You lifted me out of the depths.
You did not let my enemies gloat over me.
    Lord my God, I called to You for help, and you healed me.
    You spared me from going to the depths of hell.
Sing the praises of the Lord, you His faithful people.
Praise His holy Name everywhere!
    For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts
    a lifetime. Rejoicing comes in the morning.
Lord, when You favored me, You made my royal mountain stand firm; but when You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
    Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help.
    You turned my wailing into dancing; You clothed me with
    Joy.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION               unison
Holy Father, forgive us. We have selfishly let You down.
Though You should guide us, we inform ourselves.
Though You should fulfill us, we console ourselves.
We think Your truth too high, Your will too hard,
Your power too remote, Your love too free.  But they are not!
Heal our confused minds with Your word, our troubled
consciences with Your Love, and our anxious hearts with Your
presence.     Forgive us.  We need You every hour.
