ANNOUNCEMENTS

*PASSING THE PEACE OF CHRIST

****

Please join me in praising the Lord using the Response printed in your bulletin: (From Isaiah 6:3, 8)
Leader: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
People: The whole earth is full of his glory.
Leader: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'
People: And I said 'Here am I; send me!'"

(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 #138 (Blue Hymnal)

"Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!"

(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

Father, we praise you!
Through your Word and Holy Spirit

You created all things.
You revealed Your plan for the world

by sending Jesus Christ,
the Word made flesh.
Forgive our falling short, and all our sin!
Fill us with the vision of Your glory,
that we may always serve and praise You,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever! Amen
