CONFESSION INVITATION
Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence.
Know him in all your paths, and he will keep your ways straight.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION 

Many: Holy God, we confess that we have strayed from your paths of right relationship and peace, and we have dishonored you, ourselves, and your creation;
we repent of these hurtful ways.
Forgive and restore us, we pray, as we learn to forgive others,
and guide our feet into the way of peace. Amen. Hear us now as we share our honest confessions in silence.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
1 Corinthians 15:54-57, NRSV

One: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the good news.

Many: Thanks be to God!

OFFERING

OFFERING PRAYER

Many: If we love God, we take care of each other. If we love God, we feed each other. If we love God, we despise evil that leaves neighbors hungry. We love, not by word alone, but in action, sharing what we have so that there is enough. In this spirit, let us gather our offerings together.

COMMUNION

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH - Apostles Creed

All: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

GREAT THANKSGIVING

Many: And also with you.

One: Lift up your hearts!
Many: We lift them up to the Lord!
