Worship Prayers August 2

THE TIME OF CENTERING:   Gracious God, we thank you for the support and love that we find in community with you and with each other.  Center our hearts, minds, bodies and souls upon your love in this worship celebration, so that our love will flourish for you.  Amen.

  

CALL TO WORSHIP

Leader:      Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy.

People:      For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome, a great king over all the earth.

Leader:      God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

All:             Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

   PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of love, in the wrong we have done and in the good we have not done, we have sinned in ignorance; we have sinned in weakness; we have sinned through our own deliberate fault.  We are truly sorry.  We repent and turn to you.  Forgive us and renew our lives through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
