CENTERING PRAYER “God, remove all bitterness from my heart and give me the strength and courage to face any disaster that comes my way.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Come, let us worship God with the passion and joy of King David and all the people who sang and danced before the ark of the covenant.
Let us worship our Savior with the songs of praise and thanksgiving of the apostle Paul and all who are blessed with every spiritual blessing.
God has blessed us in our Lord Jesus Christ, destined us to be children of God, and sealed us in the Holy Spirit.
Let us worship our wonderful God together.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy, holy, holy Lord, you are the God of glory. We confess that we often forget your holiness is dangerous. We take our impurities for granted, make excuses for the sins we commit, and expect you to overlook the harm we cause while still demanding justice from others. We do not deserve your mercy. Forgive us, and return us to a right relationship with you for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ. You made us for the purpose of praising you; enliven us with the Holy Spirit so that we can fulfill our calling in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Silent Confession)
SCRIPTURE READING Mark 6:14-29
† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH - Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
