CENTERING PRAYER

 

Heavenly Father, you created the world and all that is in it. The wind and the sea obey your Son. Your Holy Spirit is the source of our strength and our confidence in you. All praise be to you, our stronghold and savior. Amen.

WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

CALL TO WORSHIP

 

How very good and pleasant it is when siblings live together in unity!

It is like the precious oil on the head, like the dew the falls on the mountains of Zion.

Together, let us worship God.

† HYMN      “This Is My Father’s World”       Hymnal #370

 

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

 

Most merciful God, forgive us. We imagine we can live without you, when you give us our very breath. We seek control over others rather than strive to live in unity. We allow fear to overtake us, even though our lives are forever in your hands. Draw us back into your steadfast love and shape us into the likeness of your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. (Silent Confession)

† 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 the saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
