*Call to Worship Evan Gratz We come, for God gathers us here, with that community called faith: where the hungry are served first, where the thirsty drink life's water. We come, for God welcomes us here into that home called grace: where the naked are clothed in robes of hope; where the stranger is embraced as the long-lost prodigal. We come, for God reunites us here, sisters and brothers in that family called love: where the imprisoned model justice, where the sick are cradled in God's peace. All: We come for God, together we come. *Opening Hymns

Ministry of Music

Holy God, We Praise Your Name Breathe on Me, Breath of God

No. 3 (1,2,4) No. 295

Prayer of Confession (In unison, followed by silent prayer) Unclutter our lives, Lord; we have too much, consume too much, expect too much. Grant us perspective; to see this world, through others’ eyes, than just our own. Grant us compassion; where there is need, to play our part, not turn aside. Grant us gratitude; for what we have, our daily bread, the gift of life. Unclutter our lives, Lord, give us space, simplicity, thankful hearts. (silent prayer) Amen. Affirmation of Grace
