*CALL TO WORSHIP                                                                                     Ryan Knight
Whether we are sure of God’s work in the world
or still waiting for a sign,
let us worship the Lord,
encouraging one another in hope.
Whether we are confident
in what the future will bring
or carry more questions than answers,
let us worship the Lord,
strengthening one another in faith.

*HYMN OF PRAISE                               “Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty” – GTG 35

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
You are the God of all people, O Lord,
the creator of all things good.
Forgive us when we fail to see the good.
Forgive us when we refuse to see the “all.”
We are searching for your presence
and grasping for your grace,
unable to believe
that we cannot be separated from your love.
Forgive us, God of mercy,
and through Christ our redeemer,
free us to try again.
