CHIMING OF THE HOUR

WELCOME

PRELUDE

SILENT PRAYER OF PREPARATION

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Now every morning is your love great God of light, and all day long you are working for good in the world.

Stir up in us the desire to serve you, to live peacefully with our neighbors, and to devote each day to your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen

*CALL TO CONFESSION

*CONFESSION OF SIN

Almighty God, you love us, but we have not loved you. You call, but we have not listened. We walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped in our own concerns We condone evil, prejudice, warfare and greed. God of grace, help us to admit our sin, so that as you come to us in mercy; we may repent, turn to you, and receive forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
