CENTERING PRAYER
Redeeming God, you call us to be one with you, as you are one with Christ. Your perfect love casts out our fear and fills us with your love. Unite us by your Spirit of peace that we may be one with you now and forever. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Let the righteous be joyful!
Let them rejoice before God.
Let us all be jubilant with joy!
Sing to God, all peoples of the world.
Sing praises to God most high.
From the sanctuary of heaven,
God gives live and renews the face of the earth.
Let the righteous be joyful!
Let them rejoice before God.
Let us all be jubilant with joy!
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Loving God, we confess we do not always bring honor and glory to your name. We are rebellious and weak; we flee before your goodness. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us by the grace and mercy of Christ, that we may rise up again in peace to love and serve the world. (Silent Confession)
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – The Apostles’ Creed
OFFERING
Jesus said to the Father, all that are mine are yours and all that are yours are mine. Therefore, let us offer to God this day our lives and labors in service of Christ’s love. Let us pray…
Glorious God, everything given to us rains forth out of the abundance of your love, even Jesus Christ, our Lord. Bless these gifts and our lives together that all we are and all we offer give glory to you. We pray in the name of Christ, who is the way, truth, and life. Amen.
