Order of Worship 10:30 a.m.

PRELUDE Prelude on “Slane” by Gordon Young Mitchell Jerko, Organist

*PROCESSIONAL HYMN #634 To God Be the Glory

*UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION Rev. Kati Collins

Leader: I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord.

People: And Thou forgave my sins.

Leader and People: In a world full of things competing for our attention, we confess,

Lord, that we often don’t always take our direction from You. Appetite and ambition

lure us in directions that are not always in line with Your wishes. We neglect to stand

courageously in the face of disappointment and uncertainty. We fail to appreciate the

failures and setbacks that lead to fulfillment and satisfaction. Let us place a greater

faith in Your love and grace. May we find Your beauty that awaits our discovery and

follow Your Son’s words” “Love one another as I have loved you.” We ask this prayer

in Your name. Amen.
