PREPARATION

CALL TO WORSHIP
from Psalm 146

One: Let us praise the Lord from the depths of our hearts. Let us sing praise to God as long as we live.

Many: Blessed are those whose hope is in the Lord their God, the maker of the earth, the skies, the sea and everything in them.

One: The Lord remains faithful forever.  God upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.

Many: The Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those that are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous. 

One: The Lord watches over the stranger and sustains the fatherless and the widow but God frustrates the ways of the wicked. 

Many: The Lord reigns forever. Let us praise the Lord!

CALL TO CONFESSION
Isaiah 57:15, NRSV

“For thus says the high and lofty one who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Many: Holy One, together we confess that though we sing of your love and proclaim your reign over all creation, we too often act as though you are distant and powerless. Remind us of your loving kindness and help us to live with confidence in your presence today and in hope for life with you forever. Amen.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Hebrews 4:14-16, NRSV

One: “Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” In Christ, we are loved and forgiven.

Many: Thanks be to God!

PASSING THE PEACE

One: The peace of Christ be with you all. 

Many: And also with you.

BLESSING OUR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

One: People of God, what is our prayer for these children and youth?

Many: May the Lord be with you.

Children and Youth: And also with you.

One: Children and Youth, in every moment where you find yourself doing things that are ugly or beautiful, brave or cowardly, may you remember that the truer and truest thing about you is that you are loved by God. And by this love you have been made perfect even as you are being made holy. (Hebrews 10:14) 

All: Thanks be to God!

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.
