CALL TO WORSHIP                                                                    Lindsay Anderson
We say we come to worship to be with God,
but the beautiful truth is:
God is already with us.
God is always with us.
So in this time together,
let us lift our voices in praise
of this loving, ever-present God!

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God,
  we acknowledge our guilt,
  and seek your face and your forgiveness.
For we have not offered steadfast love
  to you or each other.
We have not moved forward in faith,
  but have allowed ourselves to be stifled by fear.
Revive us, raise us up,
  that we might live before you,
  rejoicing in the knowledge of your love.

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S GRACE
