PRELUDE “All Glory be to God on High”
Anton W. Leupold
*CALL TO WORSHIP – from Psalm 25
One: Let us reach out with heart and soul to the Lord.
All: O Lord, our God, in you we place our trust.
One: Let us ask the Lord to lead us.
All: O Lord, help us to find the paths we should take.
One: Lead us in Your truth, O God;
All: And we shall rejoice in your love and goodness forever.
*PRAYER OF THE DAY
*HYMN 1 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Most gracious and merciful God, we confess to you that time after time we have entered your presence with countless prayers but with hearts that have been closed to your grace. We have lifted our hands in praise, but our feet have walked the ways of evil. We have rehearsed your commandments, but we have refused to see your face in the needs of our neighbor. Forgive these and all our sins, O Lord. Grant us the cleansing to be found only in your holy presence and by the healing of your all-powerful Word…
Silent Prayers of Confession
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. -- 1 Timothy 1:15
Hear then Christ’s word of grace to us: Your sins are forgiven.
Thanks be to God.
