Gathering with Joyful Hearts Welcome & Announcements Prelude *Call To Worship L: Jesus said: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. P: On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. *Opening Hymn: Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah #281 Prayer of Confession Let us speak the truth about ourselves to our neighbors and to God, acknowledging what we have done and what we have left undone. Your holiness, O God, commands that we confess: We have neither loved our neighbors as ourselves nor honored ourselves as your beloved creation. We have judged unjustly, regarded others ungenerously, profited at the losses of those near and distant, borne grudges, desired vengeance, and kept silent in the face of wrongdoing. We long to live in accord with your desire that your way of compassion, kindness and honesty will govern our hearts and minds, turning us toward lives of peace. Forgive us and lead us. (Time of silent confession.) Amen. Assurance of Pardon Brothers and sisters, the Holy One who promises forgiveness to those who seek the good hears your confession. As the crucified and risen child of God, your Redeemer fully knows your sorrow and your desire for reconciled relationships. You are forgiven. In that promise is the power to love your neighbors and yourselves as beloved of God who created all that exists. *Gloria Patri: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen. *Passing of the Peace Leader: May the peace of Christ be with you People: And also with you.
