CENTERING PRAYER
Faithful God, we give you thanks that in Jesus Christ you entrust us with the richness of your glory and the treasure of your grace. Make us faithful stewards of your good gifts, that we may show your love to this generation and welcome us into your eternal home, where we will worship and serve you forever; through Christ our Savior. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Praise the Lord, O servants of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time on and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time on and forevermore.
Come! Let us worship our God together.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious Father, you know our sin: Running away like prodigal children, we squander the gifts you give us. We fail to forgive one another and ourselves. We are unfaithful and dishonest in small and great things alike. We are shrewd in seeking wealth and foolish in following your way. Forgive our sins, O Lord, for your name’s sake. Make us faithful stewards of the grace you give and generous in our forgiveness. We continue to pray in Jesus’ name. (Silent Confession)
