CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: God has given us our days and our years,
All: He has given us the miracle of life and love.
Leader: God has given us our family, our friends, and our community of faith
All: so that we may live, love, and serve.
Leader: God has set His seal upon our hearts,
All: so that we may live in love and be a part of His miracles each day. Let us worship God!
*HYMN #487 “When Morning Gilds the Skies”
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Heavenly Father, we confess we do not always understand Your ways. We are easily discouraged when life takes unexpected turns and our carefully laid plans and dreams come to nothing. We confess we are quick to give up when things get difficult. Forgive us. Grant us patience to wait for Your perfect timing. Open our eyes to recognize Your leading in our lives and help us hear Your gentle whisper guiding us in the way You created for each of us. Then give us courage to step out in faith and obedience, even when we cannot see the outcome. In the Name of our Savior, Jesus, we pray, Amen.

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
