Invocation Bill Collins, Liturgist

*Call to Worship Leader: The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? People: The Holy God is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Leader: Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! People: “Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!” Your face, O Lord, do I seek. Leader: Let us sing a song of joy to the One who saves us.

*Hymn #292 (blue) “All Beautiful the March of Days” FOREST GREEN

*Call to Confession

*Prayer of Confession Gracious Lord, Your face, turned toward us, is our light and our salvation. Do not hide Your face from us! Do not turn away from us in anger! We confess how often we have turned away from You – distracted by chores and obligations, embroiled in quarrels and contests, reluctant to follow Your lead and live lives marked by obedience and sacrifice. O God, arouse us to repentance. Help us to heed our hearts, for they tell us to seek Your face. In Your Son’s holy name we pray. Amen.

*Silent Prayer

*Kyrie Eleison Lord have mercy upon us.

Christ have mercy upon us.

Lord have mercy upon us.

*Assurance of

Pardon

Leader: Hear the good news! Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Friends, believe the good news of the gospel: People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!

*Gloria Patri #579 (blue)

*Apostles Creed (Traditional) (blue) #14
