It is the that is always active in the life of a believer.

Prelude

Welcome - Rev. Dana Seiler

Call to Worship - Greg Conrad

  • Leader: Come, Holy Spirit, fill this place and our hearts anew.
  • People: God’s Spirit meets us here, uniting us in worship today.
  • Leader: We gather: one body, many voices, called by the same Spirit.
  • People: Give us the courage to proclaim Your good news.
  • Leader: Surround us with the holy fire of compassion and hope.
  • People: Gift us the grace to listen and understand one another.
  • Leader: For we are your people, O God, and in You we are made new.
  • People: Let us worship God with joy and gladness.

Hymn - “I Sing the Mighty Power of God” - #288 - 3 Verses

Prayer of Confession:
Spirit of the Living God, we confess that we do not always welcome Your wonderful and mysterious ways. You move to unite us, yet we cling to what divides. You speak through new voices, yet we turn away from words we do not try to understand. You call us to proclaim Your good news, yet we remain silent in the face of fear or embarrassment. Forgive us, O God. Break down the walls we build and breathe new life into our hesitant hearts. Open us to the Spirit’s power, that we might be renewed, reconciled, and sent out to be Your faithful witnesses in the world, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Doxology

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.
