*CONFESSION OF WHO WE ARE Carol Fleming
Giver
of darkness and light:
Yours are the height and depth, the
fullness and emptiness,
the sorrow and joy of life.
We limit you, God, thinking you’re
present only in light.
We confess a blindness to your presence
in the dark,
and resistence to believing your word can be “no” as well as “yes,”
that
you close doors as well as open them.
Forgive
us. Heal us of mistrust which forgets that we are held in your hands.
(a
time for personal confession) Amen.
*HYMN # 345 (Verse 1)
Dear
Lord and Father of Mankind
*ASSURANCE OF WHOSE WE
ARE on
Psalm 139
Darkness
is not dark to God, for night is as bright as day.
God is present in our greatest joys and deepest sorrows;
in
our glaring wrong and glorious right.
In
Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
*THE PEACE
The
peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Peace
be with you. (worshipers share words
and gestures of peace)
