*Call to Worship(Responsive Reading) Psalm 121

UMH# 844 *Opening Hymn ‘Praise to the Lord, the Almighty’ UMH# 139

*Prayer of Confession(in unison):

O God our eternal loving Father, we come with praises on our lips and thanksgiving in our hearts, realizing that You have cradled us in the heart of Your providence, surrounded us with Your grace, and sustained us by Your holy life-giving Word. Without a doubt each morning we see Your mercies and experience Your grace, great indeed is Your faithfulness. To this hour of worship we bring our victories of the past week, we recall Your goodness and blessings and praise You. We also bring our frailties, weakness of our proud spirits and we pray that You will help us in our unbelief. Pour out Your holy spirit upon us, that we may see the vision You have for us clearly, that we may transcend our own egos and receive Your anointing, so that we may become united in faith, bound in love, and one in seeking to serve our fellow humans. Let Your kingdom come into our hearts and lives, renew our faith and spirit and grant us the desire to be disciples, to actively proclaim that Your kingdom is come by living out the gospel of Christ, we pray in the spirit of Christ in whom Word and deed are one, who is present here among us, to Him we raise our voices of praise and surrender our faltering hearts. Amen!
