CENTERING PRAYER
O God, you show us the way to servanthood. You give us much so we can bless others and not seek gratification for ourselves. Help us to seek your path and keep us in humility so we can be the light of Christ in the world. In the name of the one who came to serve, we pray. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 104)
Praise the LORD, for God is great indeed!
Let us sing praises for God’s glorious works.
We give glory, honor, and thanksgiving to the LORD,
who makes and sustains all things.
Come, let us worship our Creator together.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful and gentle God, we want reward without sacrifice. We are unwilling to serve and do not humble ourselves in obedience. Forgive our hubris, gracious God. Correct our ignorant ways and help us to know your glory through servanthood. Guide us to be your true followers, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Silent Confession)
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – The Apostles’ Creed
