CALL TO WORSHIP                                                            Jenny Sue LeSchander
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it,
for God has founded it on the seas
and established it on the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in God’s holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
who do not lift up their souls to what is false
and do not swear deceitfully.
Such is the company of those who seek God,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
O God, we seek your face!
Let us worship God with gladness.

HYMN OF PRAISE                    “All Who Love and Serve Your City” – GTG 351

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
We know that you call your people to lives of service
  and works of justice.
Forgive us, O Lord, when we keep our lives
  just loud enough to drown out your call.
Forgive us, O Lord, when we keep our days
  just busy enough to convince ourselves
  that we have a righteous excuse.
We know that you work for the healing
  of all that is broken in the world.
Heal us, O Lord, of our blindness by your grace.
Forgive us, O Lord, and free us to try again.
