Opening VOluntary Hymn Medley
WelcOme and annOuncements
† call tO WOrship Every day of our lives is a gift from God! Each moment is an opportunity to bless and show love. The Spirit graciously invites us to open our eyes, and extend ourselves in friendship and care. Jesus calls to us, “Come and see!” May we see, and experience, the depth of God’s love!
† hymn nO. 159 Lift High the Cross ................................................................................................................................................................................. crucifer
† prayer Of cOnfessiOn
God of all people, we seek to love and care for every person who crosses our path. But we confess that our intention and hope often falls short of reality. We stick close to those we know, and feel safest with those we can trust. Jesus, friend to both sinner and saint, show us a new way of being, and give us the courage to be intentional and Spirit-filled in all our relationships. Your kingdom depends on us. May we be motivated by the sacrifice of your limitless love. Amen.
