*CALL TO WORSHIP
     Leader:  Thus says the Lord: In a time of favor I have answered you, on a day of salvation I have answered you.
            All: Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing.
     Leader: I have kept you and given you a covenant to the people.  I have inscribed you on the palm of my hands.
            All: Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing.
            Unison: Let us worship God!
 
*HYMN # 272  “God of the Sparrow”
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
You call us the servants of Christ and stewards of your mysteries, O God.  Yet, we resist the basin and towel of discipleship and hesitate to wash others with the waters of our baptism.  We shy away from the mysteries of the Gospel and settle for comfortable truths.  We know it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy, yet we are seldom worthy of the trust you place in us.  Bring to light the things now hidden in darkness as in Christ you have forgiven us our sin.  Amen.

OUR TIME OF PRAYER & THE LORD’S PRAYER
              Lord, for this joy, we give you thanks.
              Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
