LIGHTING OF THE CHRIST CANDLE Jane Bies *CALL TO WORSHIP…………………………………………………Jane Bies Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of God’s name. How awesome are your deeds, O God! We sing praises to your name. Come and see what God has done: turning the sea into dry land; bringing us across the river Jordan. How awesome are your deeds, O God! We sing praises to your name. Even when God has tested us; even when we have gone through fire and water: God has brought us out to a spacious place. Our God is an awesome God! Let us worship God! *PRAYER OF THE DAY…….………………………………………...Jane Bies God of our salvation, you are the source of wisdom and joy. Your love and mercies are not limited to one time or to one people. You continue to heal and to save, transcending the artificial boundaries and barriers we set. For such expansive love, it is our right, duty, and joy to offer you all our thanks and praise, now and forever. Amen. *HYMN #54……...………………………………."Make a Joyful Noise to God" CALL TO CONFESSION………………………………………………..Jane Bies PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) ………….…………………….Jane Bies Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. We keep our distance from you, for we are broken and sick with sin. Yet you see us, and cleanse us, and make us whole. Forgive us when we forget to return to you—have mercy when we fail to praise your name, and help us to exude the faith that makes us well. Amen. SILENT PRAYER OF CONFESSION WORDS OF ASSURANCE *RESPONSE IN SONG #626 As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you. You alone are my strength, my shield; to you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you. *THE PEACE Jesus said: “As the Lord has forgiven us, let us also forgive one another.” The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you. And also with you. We exchange signs of peace. (children go to Sunday School)
