Welcome and Announcements Mertie Woolcock
Minute for Mission Introduction—Connie Musgrave Mission—Sara Woody
Prelude “They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love” Peter Scholtes Arr. Mark Hayes
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord. And we pray that our unity will one day be restored. And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.
* Call to Worship Abby Parks
Leader: O Lord, open my eyes, People: so I might see the vision of your truth. Leader: O Lord, open my ears, People: and I will hear your word. Leader: O Lord, open my lips, People: and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. * Hymn “All Who Love and Serve Your City” No. 351
Call to Confession Lakin Thompson To you, O God, we give up the burdens of this week, trusting your love and mercy. To you, O God, we surrender ourselves, trusting our risen Lord to lead us always in the way of peace, today, tomorrow and forever.
Prayer of Confession (unison) Ashley Thompson
O God, we confess that we often look back. We look back on mistakes we have made, work left undone, people we have hurt, and excuses we have made. We see these as things for which we feel guilty. We overwhelm ourselves with regret.
Free us, O God, from self-condemnation that immobilizes us.
Allow us to remember that you call us to look back,
to remember those times of joy,
to remember those people who were kind and compassionate,
to remember that we did the best we were able to do,
to remember that in Christ our past is transformed,
to remember that you journey with us each day of our life.
May we continue to grow in grace and truth.
Prayer for Illumination Clara Alice Wilson
Inhabit our hearts, God of history, as you once inhabited human flesh. Be here among us with all your wisdom, all of your power, all of your mercy, all of your love, that we might learn to be like God, from our God who came to be like us. Holy are you. Holy are we who are one with you forever. Amen.
Passing of the Peace Kitty Wilson
Let us offer and receive the peace of Christ as a sign of God’s grace and an assurance of forgiveness. Leader: The peace of Christ be with you. People: And also with you.
