ORDER FOR WORSHIP

PRELUDE    

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS                         Jessica Parks

*CALL TO WORSHIP                                             Faye Hill
Happy are those who fear the Lord,

who delight in God’s commandments.

They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright.

Those who love God are gracious,

merciful, and righteous.

They are generous,

sharing freely what they have received.

It is well with those who live in justice.

Their hearts are steady; they will not be afraid.

Let us praise the Lord!

*HYMN OF PRAISE                                   “Ho, All Who Thirst” – GTG 479

CALL TO CONFESSION


PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God,

in Jesus you show us a way that is humble

and that seeks the good of others.

We confess that we go our own way;

we elevate ourselves

and ignore the needs of others.

Free us from the temptation

to pursue our own pleasure only.

Help us to live in harmony

with all your people,

sharing one world

and eating around one table,

for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior.

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S GRACE


*THE PEACE
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
And also with you.
