Worship August 24


PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP:  God of light and truth, you are beyond our grasp or conceiving.  Before the brightness of your presence the angels veil their faces.  With lowly reverence and adoring love we acclaim your glory and sing your praise, for you have shown us your truth and love in Jesus Christ our Savior.  Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP (Adapted from Psalm 145:1-3)
Leader:      We will exalt our God and King;
People:      We will praise God's name for ever and ever;
Leader:      Great is the Lord and worthy of praise;
People:      So we have gathered to worship our God.
Leader:      Indeed, we shall worship our God.
 PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, your prophets proclaimed the call to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with you.  Your beloved child came proclaiming your reign of justice and peace.  We look at our country still struggling with racism and prejudice; we look at the widening gap between rich and poor.  As we struggle to love your world and its people as you do, help us to perform signs of hope amidst people under siege.  Help us to love one another, in Christ’s name.  Amen
