ANNOUNCEMENTS

*PASSING THE PEACE OF CHRIST

CHOIR INTROIT:

"The Lord Is in His Holy Temple," Lloyd Larson

***

Please join me in praising the Lord using the Response printed in your bulletin (Psalm 100):
Leader:  Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
People:  Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing.
Leader:  Know that the Lord is God.  It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
People:  Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.  Give thanks to him, bless his name.
Leader:  For the Lord is good;
People:  His steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations."

(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 #551 (Blue Hymnal)

"Come, Ye Thankful People, Come"

(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 bulletins.

*COMING CLEAN BEFORE OUR CREATOR:

We praise you, Gracious Lord, for the bounty we enjoy:
Warm homes, food to spare,

minds and means to earn a living.
Forgive us, Lord, our ingratitude for these privileges.
To whom much has been given, much is required.
Make us aware of our responsibility to share with others.
Soften our hard hearts;
Give us generous spirits, we pray,
That we may respond to a needy world

in Christ's name.
Amen

RECEIVING FORGIVENESS:

(Lector only)

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