Opening Prayer
   
O God, our Guide and Guardian, you have led us apart from the busy world into the quiet of your house.  Grant us grace to worship you in Spirit and in truth, to the comfort of our souls and the upbuilding of every good purpose and holy desire.  Enable us to do more perfectly the work to which you have called us, that we may not fear the coming of night, when we shall resign into your hands the tasks which you have committed to us.  So may we worship you not with our lips at this hour, but in word and deed all the days of our lives, through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Rev. Michael McFarlin, Pastor
​
Prelude and Bringing in the Light

Welcome and Announcements

​Hymn - "Holy, Holy, Holy!  Lord God Almighty"

Call to Worship
​​L:
C:
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
​To the one seated on the throne and the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever.
Call to Prayer
  
Almighty and merciful God, we know that when we offend another, we offend you.  We are aware that we have often allowed the shadow of hate to cloud our souls, hiding the light from our un-seeking eyes.  We have said unpleasant things to our brothers and sisters when they failed to live up to our expectations.  Grant that we might find that spark of love that ever burns within us, the love that you have shown to us even when we failed you.  Fan the embers of that love until it roars again in flames of love, peace, and reconciliation.  Forgive us our sins and help us to forgive those who have sinned against us.  Lead us into new life through your Son Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of all.  Amen.
All offer prayer of confession in silence.
