*Call to Worship
Sylvia
McGee, Liturgist
The realm of God has come near. Enter this time of
worship with joyous expectation.
We will extol you, O God, for you have drawn us up. You rescued us
from the pit and
restored us to life.
Sing praises to God, all faithful ones. Give thanks
to God’s holy name.
We have known your favor, O God, in many ways. You have healed us
and turned our mourning to dancing.
Rejoice in the work you are given to do. Give
thanks that your names are known to God.
We will praise you, O God, and not be silent. We will give thanks to
you forever.
*OPENING
HYMN NO. 150 Come, Christians, Join to Sing
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gentle God, we know that we have let you down in
many ways. We have not lived up to
your high intentions for us. You send us out as
ambassadors of peace, instead we pick
fights with our sisters and brothers. You
commission us to travel light, and we become
bogged down with our possessions. You ask us to
help ease the burdens others carry, but
we add to them. Patient God, will you forgive us
again? Amen
*RESPONSE: HYMN NO. 572 Lord
Have Mercy Upon Us
*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Hear the good
news! The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
He himself
bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we might be dead to sin
and alive to all that is good.
In Jesus
Christ, we are forgiven.
Amen
*Gloria
Patri, P. 579

verse of “Blest Be the Tie” {Hymn No. 438})
The Peace of
the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
And also with you. (A time of
greeting)
Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.

and forgive us

temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
Hymnal, P. 581
Holy, holy,
holy Lord, God of power and might,

earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he
who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the
highest. Hosanna in the highest.
WORDS OF INSTITUTION
SHARING THE BREAD AND CUP
It is the
practice of this congregation to partake individually of the bread

doing, we affirm that Holy Communion has meaning to us both as
individuals and as a community of believers.
