*CALL TO CONFESSION *PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)
Most holy and merciful Father; We acknowledge and confess before You; Our sinful nature prone to evil and slothful in good; And all our shortcomings and offenses. You alone know how often we have sinned; In wandering from Your ways; In wasting Your gifts; In forgetting Your love. But You, O Lord, have mercy upon us; Who are ashamed and sorry for all wherein we have displeased You. Teach us to hate our errors; Cleanse us from our secret faults; And forgive our sins; For the sake of Your dear Son. And O most holy and loving Father; Help us, we pray; To live in Your light and walk in Your ways; According to the commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord. (Silent prayers) *THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: Congregation:
Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!

adapted from a prayer of Fred Craddock
Gracious God, we are grateful for the Church, which is like a mother and father to us.
Congregation: We are grateful for all who have taught us…… Leader:
and for our work together, which is more important than we ever could have dreamed!
Congregation: We thank You for all those occasions when what we have to do and what we want to do coincide. Leader:
More especially, we give thanks for those times when what we have to do and what we want to do are some distance apart, and by Your grace we are sustained to be faithful.
Congregation: Every morning is a milestone of Your mercy. Leader:
Every evening is a benediction of Your peace.
Congregation: All day long we are blessed beyond our anticipation. Leader:
Give us the imagination to know how to turn these blessings toward others.
Congregation: Free us from all shallowness into the dimension of depth. Leader:
Deliver us from all cruelty of indifference toward our families, toward our friends, toward strangers.
Congregation: Help us to be a Church. Leader:
Make us a Church by living among us. Amen.

SELWYN AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WARMLY WELCOMES ALL WHO VISIT Please take a moment to sign the registry of friendship as it is passed along your pew so that you may be greeted and greet others by name. If you are actively searching for a new church home, we invite you to fill out the card in the pew rack and place it in the offering plate, or bring it after worship to one of the ministers. Membership is by one of three paths: 1) profession of faith in Jesus Christ (for those who have never been part of a Christian church); 2) reaffirmation of faith (for those who formerly were part of a congregation but have not been involved in recent times - for example, you were baptized and/or confirmed but moved away for military service, education, or work, and never engaged with a new congregation); or 3) transfer of membership from another congregation (you have recently moved to this area and your membership is still elsewhere, or you simply seek to become part of Selwyn Avenue Presbyterian Church in your faith journey). New members and prospective members are invited to participate in Orientation Conversations, which are scheduled several times a year, and are a wonderful way to meet others and learn together about all the opportunities here. We always stand ready to be in communication with you about your particular situation. The contact information for all staff members is in the bulletin each week.
