ORDER FOR WORSHIP

PRELUDE‍ ‍

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Rev. Kyle Anderson

*CALL TO WORSHIP Jean Seater

Though finite human minds
cannot fathom God’s fullness,
God gives us glimpses of her glory every day
in the night sky’s depths
and in the simplest flower,
in shared meals, shared stories,
and shared struggles.
In the face of every person made in her image,
God’s beauty glows like sunlight behind clouds.
We share God’s sacred longing to be known,
to be truly seen and loved for all we are.
But to be fully known,
we must risk vulnerability.
When we dare to share ourselves with one another,
when we work to understand a friend or stranger,
we come closer to catch a glimpse
of God’s presence.
Let us worship God together.

*HYMN OF PRAISE “Arise, Your Light is Come!” – GTG 744

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Magnificent God,
we cannot stand before the glory of your presence.
You shine with divine light,
and we are overwhelmed by your goodness.
Lift us in your mercy,
release us from our fear,
and fill us with your Spirit,
that we might reflect your light
and share your love,
for the sake of Jesus, our Savior.
