*CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm
148: 1-6, 10-14
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise God in the heights!
Praise the Lord, all his angels;
praise him, all his host!
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for God commanded and they were created.
The Lord established them forever and ever;
fixing their bounds, which cannot be
passed.
Wild animals
and all cattle,
creeping things and flying birds!
Kings of the
earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and
women alike,
old and young together!
Let them
praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted;
God’s glory is above earth and
heaven.

“All Creatures of Our God and King”

UNISON
PRAYER OF CONFESSION: by Lavon Bayler
Generous Provider, you have
loved us and met our needs, even when we have ignored you and resisted your
Word. We have not loved you or one
another as you command, but have looked for saviors in our own image and have
given our attention to those from whom we think we can gain. We have closed our eyes to the suffering and
pain we help to inflict on some of your children. Forgive us and turn us around, lest our care
and concern come too late to help other children whom you love. Amen.
ASSURANCE
AND FORGIVNESS:
Stand up on your feet and
walk. God has healed your crippled
spirits and helped you to feel the pain of your sisters and brothers. God satisfies you with food and gladness, so
you can pass on the mercies of your Creator to others. God is your Alpha and Omega, the Source and
the Ending of all things. Dwell in God’s
love as forgiven sinners.

SHARING THE BREAD #372
According
to Thy gracious Word In meek humility
This
will I do, my loving Lord: I will remember Thee.
Thy
body given for my sake, My bread from heav’n shall be:
Thy
testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee.
SHARING
THE CUP #373
We
worship round this table spread,
pond’ring
Your love with cup and bread.
We
think of Calv’ry’s gift complete,
O
lamb of God, Our mercy seat.
You
have our fellowship restored
With
Father God, Creator Lord.
This
cup of joy You over flow,
Abundant
bread of life bestow.
