The Call to Worship
Leader: As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for
you, O God.
People: My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall
I come and
behold the face of God?
Leader: Why are you cast
down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within
me?
People: Put your hope
in God, for I shall again praise the One who is my
help and my God.
*The Hymn of Praise “God of the Ages, Whose Almighty
Hand” No. 262
*The Invocation
*The
Response “Christ We do
All Adore You”
Chancel Choir
*Worship in Confession (unison)
O God, many are the sins that
torment us, holding us captive and restricting
the life you intend:
bitterness and jealousy, resentment and envy, selfishness and
pride, self-loathing
and contempt, and more that we cannot even name. What
have you to do with us
and our sinful ways?
Have you really come to release us?
Is forgiveness really possible? Is the news
really that good? We
hope it is so. Lord, make it so. Wash us with your mercy.
Seal us in your love.
We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
*Declaration
of Pardon
Leader: Friends,
hear the Good News! Through faith you are all children of God
in union with Christ Jesus.
People: Baptized into union with him, we have all put on Christ as a
garment.
Leader: Friends,
believe the Good News!
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
Leader: Leave self behind. Day after day, take up your cross and follow
Christ.
Only in that risk are you ultimately safe.

Come,

Mold
our actions to Your will, You our service giving,
Move
within our fellowship, transform now our living!
Come,
O Spirit, fill Your church, making strong our mission;
Fill

Till

Sings
Your praises as Lord and King, giver of salvation!

The Call to Worship
Leader: Give ear to our words, O Lord; give heed to our sighing.
People: Listen to the
sound of our cry, our Sovereign and our God, for to
you we pray.
Leader: You are not a God who delights in wickedness, and evil will not
accompany you.
People: But we, through the abundance of your mercy, will enter your
house; we will bow down toward your holy
temple in awe of you.

*The Response “Christ We do All Adore You” Chancel Choir
*Worship in Confession (unison)
Holy God, your grace startles us.
Not only is it more than we deserve, it is
more than we can imagine. Again and again
you reach out to us, offering love
without boundary, and mercy without exception.
Forgive us for making you too
small, for thinking that you are only our God,
for
believing that we have you all figured out. Expand our vision and enlarge our
hearts, that we might grow in love and thanksgiving, and more nearly follow
Jesus our Savior. Amen
*Declaration
of Pardon
Leader: Friends, hear the Good News! We are made right with God through our
faith in Jesus Christ..
People: Who loved us and gave himself for us, whose death was not in vain.
Leader: Friends, believe the Good News!
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
Leader: Live by faith in the Son of God. Be crucified with Christ and let his life
be lived our in you.
