Welcome - Rev. Dana Seiler

*Call to Worship

Leader: Show us Your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation, that Your glory may dwell in our land.

People: We will listen to what the Lord says, for God promises peace to those who are faithful servants, to those who turn to the Lord in their hearts.

Leader: Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet, as they spring forth from the earth. Righteousness and peace will embrace, as they look down from heaven.

People: We will listen to what the Lord says. We will turn to God in our hearts.

Leader: Come, let us turn away from distracting thoughts and all that is required of us outside this sacred space.

People: Let us turn to God as we join our hearts and voices in worship.

*Hymn - “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” - #281

Prayer of Confession & Assurance of Pardon

Heavenly Father, You have blessed us well beyond our needs. You show us Your love and compassion in ways that transcend our understanding. Yet when it is our turn to show that mercy, kindness, and generosity to one another, we falter. Sometimes we justify doing nothing at all. Forgive us, Lord, for all the times we did not live out Your example in our own lives. Amen.

Affirmation of Faith - The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
