The Prelude and Call to Worship Welcome and Announcements *Lighting of the Candles (Bringing in the Light of Christ) *The Praise Medley Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing (Hymnal page 2 / Verses 1 & 3) We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise (Not in Hymnal) We have Come into His House (Hymnal page 588) You Are My All in All (Not in Hymnal) *The Prayer of Adoration *The Prayer of Confession (In Unison) O Holy One, we call to you and name you as eternal, ever-present, and boundless in love. Yet there are times, O God, when we fail to recognize you in the daily-ness of our lives. Sometimes shame clenches tightly around our hearts, and we hide our true feelings. Sometimes fear makes us small, and we miss the chance to speak from our strength. Sometimes doubt invades our hopefulness, and we degrade our own wisdom. Holy God, in the daily round from sunrise to sunset, remind us again of your holy presence hovering near us and in us. Free us from shame and self-doubt. Help us to see you in the moment-by-moment possibilities to live honestly, to act courageously, and to speak from our wisdom. Amen. Individual Confessions (pray silently) The Assurance of Pardon *Gloria Patri (Children may come forward for Childrens Time as we sing) #623 Childrens Time *Hymn The Prayers of the People The Lords Prayer (in unison) Our Father, which 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 Revive Us Again #295
