Call to Worship:
Praise the Lord
Praise God's Holy Name
Raise your eyes to the Lord
We lift our heads to Heaven
Raise your voices in Praise
We sing to the Lord a song of worship
Open your hearts to the Lord
We embrace the Spirit with wonder and awe
Worship the Lord
Worship and Praise God's Holy Name
Confession:
Merciful God, we know that you love us and yet we often fail to pass your love on. We hid your love and the knowledge of your existence in our lives. On Sundays we worship and praise you but by Monday mornings we let the world consume us and we fail to work at your love in the world. We let our Christian voice get consumed by other voices, including other's proclaiming your name: yet we see the injustice in the world around us. Forgive us for hiding your voice, your love and your grace. Grant us courage to speak up and out. Grant us wisdom to trust your will and strength to do more to pass your love forward...(assurance of pardon)...amen
Illumination:
God of mercy show us your will and your vision this morning by speaking to us through your Word spoken and through the Spirit for the sermon and worship. Give us wisdom to hear your desire for us, this community and the world. Grant to us the Spirit of truth. Amen
Dedication:
Loving God of mercy, we thank you for the blessings in our life both big and small. Even in our darkest of moments we know that your presence fills us with enough light. Help these gifts be enough for this church to continue to do your Will within the community and the courage to do more for your Kingdom. Amen.
