PRELUDE: “Holy, Holy, Holy” J. Dykes/L. Smith
INTROIT
*CALL TO WORSHIP:
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth!
Thou
whose glory above the heavens is chanted by the mouth of babes and infants,
thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes,
to
still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
what
is man that thou art mindful of him, and the
son
of man that thou dost care for him?
Yet thou hast made him little less than God, and dost crown him with glory and honor.
Thou
hast given him dominion over the works of thy
hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea.
O
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all
the
earth!
*HYMN 2:
“Holy, Holy, Holy”

UNISON
PRAYER OF CONFESSION: by Lavon Bayler
Spirit
of truth, we recognize the high hopes in which we were given birth and the many
ways in which we have failed others, ourselves, and you. We have taken for granted the gift of life in
all its variety of plant and animal forms.
We have scarred the face of the earth with our lust for power and
wealth. We have neglected the people you
have invited us to love, while worshiping at the altars of our own
success. Forgive us, God, and help us to
change the habits that destroy. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS:
When
we are truly sorry for the brokenness we have caused, God offers healing and
forgiveness. We are justified by faith and have peace with God through Jesus
Christ. The Spirit of truth will guide
us into all the truth.

SHARING
THE BREAD (#371)
I come with joy to meet my Lord,
Forgiven, loved, and free,
In awe and wonder to recall
His life laid down for me.
As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
Each proud division ends,
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends.
SHARING THE CUP (#330)
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am
found,
Was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my
heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace
appear
The hour I first believed.
GREET EACH OTHER WITH THE PEACE OF CHRIST
