Elder Jean Federici
Prayer of Confession (In unison, followed by silent prayer) Loving Creator, You made us to praise You, to sing Your glory in the marvels of the world. Yet so often we find our mouths filled with complaints and our words accompanying a whine. We complain about the weather, and we complain about not having enough—enough money, or time, or patience. We complain about other drivers, teachers, students, neighbors, roads—and the list goes on and on. Holy God, restore our perspective, lessen our fear. Fill our hearts, our love and our voices with praise. In quiet, we continue to listen for Your grace . . . (silent prayer) Amen. Affirmation of Grace *Response: Your Grace Is Enough (Children please come forward)

Pastoral Prayer and The 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.
