Morning I praise you, Lord, and give you thanks for the gift of this new day. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Let your songs fill my heart. Give me a wise and discerning mind to walk in your way, making the most of the time as I go out among your people. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP 

God is the source of wisdom, 

The fount of life eternal. 

Let us listen for the wisdom of God 

And worship the One whose words shape the world.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION 

O Lord, the voice of your wisdom rings out in the world, guiding us to place our trust in you.  The voice of your wisdom rings out in the world, challenging us to seek things that matter. Too often, O Lord, we refuse to listen. We place our trust in things that are fleeting. We seek the things that make us comfortable, rather than seeking the way of your peace. Forgive us, God of grace, and teach us to walk in the path lined by your wisdom.  (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 saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
