CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Know that the LORD is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Come, let us worship the Lord!

*HYMN 39 Great Is Thy Faithfulness UNISON LITANY OF CONFESSION

O God of Grace, may we not have received you in vain. When we pray because we desire others’ good opinion, Forgive us, Lord. When we give our gifts for others’ approval, Forgive us, O God. When we deny ourselves to get others’ admiration, Forgive us, Merciful One. When we fail to do unto others as we would like them to do unto us, Forgive us, Spirit of Love. When we put our privileged selves first, before the poor and needy and disadvantaged of this world, Forgive us, Creator of Truth. When we keep for ourselves more than what we need, Forgive us, Give-Away God. Forgive us our sins and debts. Only then can our souls be washed clean and spotless. Only then can we be your true servants. Only then will we reach the pure heart of the matter. Silent prayer of personal confession

Train up a child the way

they should go– but be

sure to go that way yourself.
