WELCOME, REGISTRATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
*CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 31
In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; into your hand I commit
my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
I
will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have
seen my affliction.
But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” O
how
abundant is your goodness that you have
accomplished
for those who take refuge in you.
Blessed
be the Lord, for he has wonderously shown his steadfast
love to me, and heard my supplications when I
cried out for help.
All:
Love the Lord, all you his saints. Be strong and let your heart
take
courage all you who wait for the Lord.
*HYMN # 334
When Israel Was in Egypt’s Land
*LIGHTING THE CHRIST CANDLE
*CONFESSION OF WHO WE ARE Augustine of Hippo (354-430)
O God, full of compassion, I commit and
commend myself to you,
in
whom I am, and live, and know.
Be
the goal of my pilgrimage, and my rest by the way.
Let
my soul take refuge from the crowding turmoil of worldly
thought
beneath the shadow of your wings.
Let
my heart, this sea of restless waves,
find
peace in you, O God.
(time for silent, personal
confession) Amen.
*THE PEACE
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with you all.
Peace be with you.
(worshipers exchange words and gestures
of peace)
