*CALL TO WORSHIP Chalice
Worship
In
the image of Christ we are created;
In the spirit of Christ we are knit
together.
In
the body of Christ we are reborn;
In the love of Christ we are reconciled.
O
come, let us sing Hosanna to God-
Whose fullness in Christ was pleased to
dwell,
whose fullness in us desires to live!
*HYMN # 551
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
*CONFESSION OF WHOSE WE ARE (Unison) Chalice
Worship
God, your Son Jesus Christ has taught us
that power belongs to you.
You have shared your power with us.
Yet, we confess we have not accepted the
power you have given us.
We have allowed others to use power to
dominate people and nations,
exploiting them, creating wars, and accumulating wealth.
Today, you offer us your power,
so that we can change the world,
announce your kingdom,
and acknowledge you, the source of all power.
For yours is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever…
(Silent Confession) Amen.
*THE PEACE
Since
God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another.
The
peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Peace be with you. (worshipers
share words and gestures of peace)
