Hymn
Chancel Choir
adapted from Psalm 111
Come! Let us give thanks and praise to the Holy One.
We give thanks to God with our whole hearts.
Great are the works of our Creator.
Great is the God who is faithful and just.
Great is the God who is full of compassion and grace.
The God who is Love that has no end.
Let us worship God!
For the Fruit of All Creation (ARHYD ENOTH)
Prayer of Praise and Adoration Sarah de la Fuente
Call to Confession
Prayer of Confession Loving God, we gather together in your presence and we become
aware of our resistance to your grace. We confess that there are times
when we avoid your glory. We may forget that it is from your hand
that food for body and soul are given. We may forget that all that is
lovely, delightful and good has its origin in you. Although we know
better, we may seek wisdom in the wrong places. We confess that
there are instances, often inadvertent, when we serve the forces of
cruelty, harming the earth and each other. Forgive us we pray. Help
us live according to the wisdom and love we find in you. Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Grace The God who created you and knows your every thought hears you now.
In the name of Jesus, know that you are forgiven and be at peace.
Thanks be to God!

from the Belhar Confession
We believe in the triune God, Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit, who
gathers, protects and cares for the church through Word and Spirit.
This, God has done since the beginning of the world and will do to
the end.
We believe that God has entrusted the church with the message of
reconciliation in and through Jesus Christ, that the church is called
to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, that the church is
called blessed because it is a peacemaker, that the church is witness
both by word and by deed to the new heaven and the new earth in
which righteousness dwells.
