Opening Hymn #207
“How Loevely, Lord”

Invocation *

Prayer of Confession

Holy God, we have failed as your church, O God. You call us to live faithfully, act justly and bring peace to the earth. Instead, our lives and your church reflect more of our needs and worries and less of the needs and worries of all peoples. Move us beyond ourselves to hear the cry of the world and to respond with acts and deeds of kindness, mercy and justice.

May your grace shine through your church that, even with its shortcomings, accepts the call of Christ to serve and care and to love and bring peace. May we receive now your forgiving spirit. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

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

Meditation from the Word of God

“THE WAR WITHIN”
Rev Emmanuel Orendain

Affirmation of Faith

We are the church called into being by Christ Jesus, sealed in baptism by His Spirit, sent as messengers who bear the Good News to all people. We are men and women, old and young, poor and rich, from many backgrounds, races, cultures, nationalities - united in fellowship by the mercy and wisdom of God. We do nothing in and of ourselves. Instead, we are made new by the regenerative power of Christ Jesus.

We are confirmed in grace, sanctified in love; we serve in humility and weakness, trusting God to work in and through us. We are the church, and Christ is our head. Thanks be to God! Amen.
