Welcome & Announcements
Call to Worship
One: Holy One, you have searched and known us.
Many: You know when we sit down and when we rise up; you discern our thoughts.
One: You search out our paths and our lying downs and are acquainted with all my ways.
Many: Even before a word is on our tongues, O Holy One, you know it completely.
One: You hem us in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon us.
Many: We praise you, for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are
your works; that we know very well.

Unison prayer of confession
Dear God, the creator of all things based on love. You created us in your image of
love and there have been times we have fallen short of that love, not only to you but
to each other and all of creation. I ask for your forgiveness and from you, present
today, my siblings, sisters and brothers in Christ. I thank you for the comforting
strength and compassion of the Holy Spirit to do better in bringing love and grace
and all I do. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.
