WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: When forces in the world threaten us, when our bodies or
spirits turn against us, there is One who seeks us, One who
meets us, One who heals us, whose love washes over us
and sets us free for joy. This One is the Lord. Come, let us
worship God.
OPENING PRAYER
HYMN #331 “God of the Ages, NATIONAL HYMN Whose Almighty Hand”
LITANY OF AFFIRMATION L: The geography of sin is a waterless waste. But God gives springs
of living water, streams of justice and mercy splashing into the
wilderness from the mountain of God. Let us drink deeply of
Christ. Let us confess our sins.

*Children’s Time
For younger children, care is provided in the nursery during the remainder of our worship time. A single youth volunteer may be needed. Please ask the adult nursery personnel if a youth is necessary.
P: Holy One, God most high, grant us faith to confess our sins and
seek your mercy. There are barren places in our lives where we
have wandered far from you. We have listened to voices who
distracted us from your call. We have submitted to powers
competing for our loyalty to you. We have not taken the hand
you offer to lead us out of godforsakenness, and into your holy
ways. God our Savior, forgive us. Quench our thirst for you from
the Rock of our Salvation, and let your love well up in us unto
eternal life.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
SHARING THE PEACE
L: Since God has forgiven us, let us also forgive one another. The
peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
P: And also with you.
L: Let us share our forgiven joy with one another.
HYMN OF ASSURANCE #581 GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
World without end. Amen, Amen.
