*Call to Worship Leader: Give thanks to God with all your heart. People: We come full of awe at God’s marvelous works. Leader: Give thanks to God with all your mind. People: We come to learn God’s wisdom and righteousness. Leader: Give thanks to God with all your strength. People: We come to live in God’s mercy and grace. Leader: Let us worship God with all that we are.
*Hymn #17 (blue) “Sleepers, Wake! A Voice Astounds Us” WACHET AUF
*Call to Confession
*Prayer of Confession Mighty God, surely awe for You is the beginning of wisdom. But we want to trust in our own knowledge. Eternal God, the Scriptures tell us that You spoke to Your people through Moses and the prophets. But we doubt that You speak today. Holy God, the created world reflects Your order and design. But we prefer not to notice. Forgive us, Lord. Wake us up to Your presence all around us, so that we might tell others about You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
*Silent Prayer
*Kyrie Eleison Lord have mercy upon us.
Christ have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.
*Assurance of Pardon Leader: Hear the good news! Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Friends, believe the good news of the gospel: People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!
*Gloria Patri #579 (blue)
*Apostles Creed (Traditional) (blue) #14

God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me.
