CALL TO WORSHIP: Charlotte Peterson
Worshiping God takes place with every thought, every breath and every action we take.
Our entire lives come together as a prayer to the almighty.
Yet we gather in this moment to be together as the Body of Christ, as God’s Church
to draw sustenance and inspiration, strength and courage. So come, let us continue to worship as we gather in the power of the Spirit.
OPENING HYMN: “Breathe on Me Breath of God” (UMH 420) played by Marilyn Lee
1 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the way you love,
and do what you would do.
2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with yours,
to do and to endure
CALL TO CONFESSION: Sue Sarno
PRAYER OF CONFESSION: led by Sue Sarno
Holy God, we come this days as individuals and as community to unburden our hearts. We come to you in prayer, O Lord, because we are aware of the many ways we have fallen short of glory. Lord, we have left undone so many things, and the knowledge of it pains us. We ask both forgiveness and seek your guidance as we rise to do the things we know you would have us do. Lord, we have also done things that we know we should not have done. Forgive us for those moments when we have wounded with words or action. Have mercy on us, we pray, and give us the courage to see the way before us and the strength to pursue it. We offer this prayer in Jesus’ name. AMEN

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made;

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
