Call to Worship

Leader:           People of God, who do you come to worship?
People:          We come to worship the one true God.
Leader:           How will you worship?
People:          Not with words alone, but by living lives of justice and love.
Leader:           Come, you who belong to God. Come, you who are foolish in the eyes of the
world.
ALL:               Come and abide in God’s tent and in God’s heart, now and forever, Amen.

Opening Hymn #430

“Come Sing, O Church, in Joy!”

Invocation *

Prayer of Confession

O Holy God of Promise, we so often place our trust in the things we can see, touch and easily believe. But you did not ask us to believe what is easy. You have asked us to believe what is true!

Forgive us, Lord, when we complain and even doubt your capacity to give and provide for our needs. When we grumble and question your love for us. When we become envious of others and not appreciate what we have. Forgive us when feeling insecure we become selfish and less generous and giving. Make us know, dear God that you provide perfectly for all our needs.

We offer these prayers in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

(A time of silence for personal reflection, to be ended with the ringing of the bell.)

Affirmation of Faith

We are God’s work of art - each one of us a precious gem,
a marvelous melody, a potter’s delight.
‍ ‍We are God’s handiwork - woven together in love,
shaped with infinite compassion, painted with incredible beauty.
We are the Church of Jesus Christ - diverse in human qualities,
but united in our call to love God, with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength,
and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
‍We are the Body of Christ - living in His truth, sharing His peace,
carrying His hope, embodying His love,
throughout the world He loved so much.
We are here to be reminded once more who we are, whose we are
and what our lives are about - loved from eternity past to eternity future.
We are here to be uplifted, renewed and empowered
‍ ‍to live out the miracle of who we are,
by the power of God working in and among us.
This we believe, and so we live, Amen. (Worship Resources, UCC 2011)
