† PRAYER OF CONFESSION The Rev. Heather M. Sigler Living God, today I confess that I allow my fear to drown out your voice. I am afraid of the unknown and things outside my control. Help me hand these items over to you every hour of the day. Help me be quiet and still, waiting for your will to be revealed rather than running ahead of you. Keep my heart open to the
Spirit's working. Remind me that I have daily bread from heaven and a safe shelter in you when I am tempted to look elsewhere for hope and help. In my silence, God, I open my heart to you.

The Rev. Heather M. Sigler
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

THE OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS TO GOD (Text 267-367-4910 to give)
ANTHEM O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Setting by Dale Wood Delaney Reed, soprano and Maddie Felix, piano O Master, let me walk with thee in lowly paths of service free; tell me thy secret; help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care. Help me the slow of heart to move by some clear winning word of love; teach me the wayward feet to stay, and guide them in the homeward way. Teach me thy patience; share with me, O share with me a closer, dearer company, in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs over wrong. In hope that sends a shining ray far down the future's broadening way, in peace that only thou can give with thee, O Master, let me live.
