Scripture Reading: Romans 6:1-11 Elder Ann Simoneau (From The Message by Eugene Peterson) Prayer of Confession (In unison, followed by silent prayer) Holy God, we make no pretense about our lives. We forget, even deny, that we were created with wonder and delight in our souls. We go through life anxious and serious, seeking to get ahead, striving to make ends meet. We rush and hurry, fill up our calendars. Where is the joy? Where are the days of summer rest? Where is our sense of delight? Joyful God, remind us that we are loved for who we are, just as we are. In Your acceptance, we find delight. In Your blessing, we find peace. Let us live our days in grateful praise. Through Jesus Christ we pray. (silent prayer) Amen.

Pastoral Prayer and Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who 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 evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
