Call to Worship

Sing to the Lord for his greatness!

He has brought us into his light!

Hallelujah! He is merciful!

He has walked with us in every trial,

And he has celebrated in our joy!

Hallelujah! He is near!

The Lord has made all things with order and beauty!

He has given us gifts to continue this work!

Hallelujah! He is love!

CONFESSION & LAMENT

We are quick to move on after God has blessed us.

But we are often slow to see his goodness.

Bring our eyes back on you, Lord.

And when we forget how to trust you for tomorrow,

Teach us to trust and love you more.

ASSURANCE OF GOSPEL PEACE

Jesus does not chastise us for having fear and anxiety,

But he gives us what we need to walk through whatever will come.

He has given us a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.

The Spirit stirs us to conviction when we are foolish

And leads us to repentance.

God is faithful and just to forgive us,

And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness through Christ.
