CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

​

Drawn to Christ and seeking God's abundance, let us confess our sin...

God, our provider, help us. It is hard to believe there is enough to share. We question your ways when they differ from the ways of the world in which we live. We turn to our own understanding rather than trusting in you. We take offense at your teachings and your ways. Turn us again to you. Where else can we turn? Share with us the words of eternal life and feed us for life in the world. Amen.

PRAYER OF THE DAY

Almighty Creator and ever-living God: we worship your glory, eternal Three-in-One, and we praise your power, majestic One-in-Three.

NOTE: Our radio and live stream service now concludes with the sharing of the peace. Holy Communion is offered for in-person worshipers only at the 9am service. If you'd like to join us in-person, please know that the sacrament will be served with individual cups (not intinction) and with physical distancing during the distribution. We are in the process of reintroducing our homebound Communion visitation ministry. Please contact Pastor Mark if you would like Communion brought to you at home.
