Call to Worship
from Psalm 106: 1,2; 47, 48
Praise the LORD!
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or declare all his praise?
Gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
Praise the Lord!
*Hymn #263
“Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise”
ST. DENIO
*Prayer of Adoration and the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the
glory forever. Amen.
Call to Confession
Prayer of Confession
O God, when trials beset us it is natural to fear.
You call us to be courageous, but we often find our faith lacking.
When asked to take risks, we often take the easy way out.
And when unfair things happen to other people, we are often too timid to speak out.
But you, O Lord, are the God of justice and compassion; you are to be trusted!
Have mercy on us. Forgive us our sin.
Lead us forward even when the way seems dangerous. Lord, hear our prayer.
