PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP: O God, whose glory is our hope, whose love is our deepest joy: Open us this day to the presence of your Spirit and the truth of your gospel, that our lives may be challenged and our faith strengthened; through Jesus the Christ, to whom with you and the Spirit, one holy God, be honor and praise, now and forever. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP (Adapted from Psalm 107)
Leader: Give thanks to the Lord for He is good;
People: His love endures forever.
Leader: When we sat in darkness and deepest gloom;
People: When we had rebelled against the words of God;
Leader: Then we stumbled and there was no one to help.
People: Then we cried to the Lord and He saved us from our distress.
Leader: He brought us out of darkness and deepest gloom.
People: We will give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love;
Leader: For His wonderful deeds we will worship our God.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Psalm 25:8-11, New Living Translation)
The Lord is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. For the honor of your name, O Lord, forgive my many, many sins.
