CHILDREN’S MESSAGE Chris Leinenkugel Following the message, the children are invited to worship in room #9. MARY HALL SCHOLARSHIP PRESENTATION CALL TO CONFESSION PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)

What will you do with us, God? We are never satisfied with our lot in life. We rebel and complain when things don’t go our way. Our hearts chase after things that become gods to us and consume our time, energy and attention. We spend little time in communion with You and begin to doubt Your presence. You seem far away and unavailable. We create barriers among ourselves that separate us from one another and from You. Send Your living water to cleanse us, O God. Empower us to worship in spirit and in truth...(We now pause to offer our silent confessions.)
