Call to Worship (Psalm 112)
Liturgist: Madison Borys,
Deacon
Praise the Lord! Happy are those who
fear the Lord, who take great delight in God’s commandments.
Their descendants will be
mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
They rise in the darkness as a light for
the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.
For the righteous will
never be moved; they will be remembered forever.
All: Let us worship God!

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
The path that you choose
for us, O God, is: to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, to share our
bread with the hungry, to bring the homeless poor into our houses, to cover the
naked, and not to hide ourselves from our own kin. Break forth the light of
dawn to dispel our darkness when we disobey you and let the
glory of the Lord shine
through when we do. For then when we cry for help you shall answer and say,
“Here I am.”
PERSONAL CONFESSION
In the name of Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
...Friends,
believe the good news.
In Jesus Christ we are
forgiven.
