CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 41, paraphrased)

Please join me in praising the Lord using the Response printed in your bulletin (Psalm 41, paraphrased)
Leader: Happy are those who consider the poor;
People: The Lord delivers us in the day of trouble.
Leader: Those who are sick are sustained by the Lord
People: The Lord heals all our infirmities.
Leader: Though enemies whisper and fate looks uncertain,
People: The Lord gives grace!

(After reciting the Response, indicate with your hands for the congregation to stand for the first hymn. DO NOT announce the hymn)

*SONG OF PRAISE #66 (Red Hymnal) "To God Be the Glory"

(Lector only) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. In humility and faith let us confess our sin to God, using the prayer printed in your bulletin.

*COMING CLEAN BEFORE OUR CREATOR:

Lord, we long not to fail.
Yet we let You down, ourselves, and others.
Hear our confession,
That we might learn of Your grace.
Forgive our pride, and teach us to be humble.
Forgive our insistence on our own way,
And help us to go the second mile.
When we seek Your forgiveness with a pure heart,
You will be merciful and make us whole again!
Amen

RECEIVING FORGIVENESS:

(Lector only)

The mercies of the Lord are from everlasting to everlasting
Upon those of humble hearts, and open hands!
