Prelude
Welcome and Announcements *Call to Worship God’s greatness is beyond our understanding, yet we proclaim… Bless the Lord, O my soul! God stretched the heavens across the sky; let us marvel at the stars that fill it. God raised mountains above the depths; let us gather in wonder before them. *Hymn 667 When Morning Gilds the Skies Prayer of Confession O, Lord, you have taught is that whoever wishes to become great must be a servant, and whoever seeks to be first must be last and servant of all. Still, O Lord, we are like James and John, seeking seats of glory. We organize our lives around ladders to climb, not realizing that we are stepping on people whom you love. Forgive us, O Christ, and teach us to follow in your way, for the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. *Hymn Take, O Take Me As I Am Assurance of Forgiveness Now stand firm in your faith, covered by the saving grace of God and ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.

Amen. *Hymn 314 Christ, Be Our Light *Blessing Go now in peace to love and serve the Lord with heart and soul and mind and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. Amen. Comments are closed.
