WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Jesus says, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Christ is here.
Calling us to the water, beckoning us to the feast,
Christ is here.
Speaking to our souls, listening to our prayers,
Christ is here.
Binding us as one body, sending us out in service,
Christ is here.
Jesus says, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Christ is here. Let us worship the Lord.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Forgiving God, You teach us to seek reconciliation with those who have wronged us; for, above all else, we are to love one another. But we let resentment smolder until anger flares, destroying any chance of peace. We blame others and refuse to repent. Grant us grace, we pray. Make space in our wounded hearts for the possibility of forgiveness and teach us to turn toward others in love as you have turned toward us. (Silent Confession)
ASSURANCE OF GRACE
† SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.
