† HYMN #434 Today We All Are Called to Be Disciples KINGSFOLD

† PRAYER OF CONFESSION

O God, you know us better than we know ourselves. You find us even when we try to hide from you. We try to conceal our everyday dealings from you, but you seek us out and inquire about our relationships, our business practices, our community involvement, our leisure pursuits. We get very uncomfortable

† Those able are invited to stand

Bold text is read or sung by all

because we try so hard to keep our lives segmented and prevent you from getting too close. Forgive us and help us tear down the dividing walls we have built so that no part of our lives will be hidden to the presence of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray.

† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

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 PEACE

One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Many: And also with you.

ANTHEM Take my Life, and Let It Be Edvard Grieg; arr. Hal Hopson

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee; Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my voice and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my lips and keep them true; Lord, may they always speak of you. Take my thoughts, my very will, your true purpose to fulfill. Take me, Lord, and yours I'll be, yours for all eternity. Lord, in mercy, hear my plea, may I now your loved one be. Loving for your love to see; oh, hear me, hear me, Lord. Amen.
