Mike Klucker, cello CALL TO WORSHIP (read responsively) Dr. Marie Buffaloe The Word of God is planted in our hearts. May our hearts be receptive to the Word. The Love of God rains down on us. May our souls soak in the wonder of God’s love. The Breath of God blows softly within us. May our minds be stirred by the power of God’s spirit.
*HYMN Wonderful Words of Life page 5 Jean Sanders and Mark Verner, hymn leaders
*CONFESSION OF SIN (Unison) Dr. Buffaloe We need to confess, God of Abraham and Lazarus, how often we are not content with the simple gifts and lives you offer. Tempted by everything, we can become insensitive to those who have nothing. Encouraged by the world to accumulate more, we may miss the chance to gather your goodness and godliness. Forgive us, God of Reversals. Help us to trust and believe the words of life you give to us through Jesus Christ. (Continue to pray silently)
*ASSURANCE OF GRACE God's word to us reminds us that God is merciful and forgiving. God is with us and for us. Friends, remember your baptism and believe the good news. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. *RESPONSE OF PRAISE 582 Glory to God Whose Goodness Shines on Me (sing twice) Glory To God
