Gracious God, we thank you for always being present with us. We know we are never alone. Your mercies are faithful and rich. Pour out your Spirit upon us, that we might do the work of your will. We pray this in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

CALL TO WORSHIP

 

Praise the Lord who is our provider.

The Lord is our hope. Our trust is in God.

God brought us out of bondage and makes us free.

The Lord is our hope. Our trust is in God.

Glorious are the deeds of our God, and mighty are God’s acts.

The Lord is our hope. Our trust is in God.

† HYMN           “All Creatures of Our God and King”           Hymnal #15

 

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

 

Almighty God, we have wandered the wilderness of sin. We complained in the face of your mercy. We were selfish and conceited in the face of your sacrifice. We do not do your will. Teach us humility. Teach us gratitude. Infuse your spirit into our beings so that we might be reconciled to you and to one another. We continue to pray in Jesus’ name. (Silent Confession)

† SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – The 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.
