CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above.
All: Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Leader: Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.
All: Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
Leader: Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created.
All: And he established them forever and ever—he issued a decree that will never pass away.
Leader: Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
All: Lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding.
Leader: You mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
All: Wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,
Leader: Kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth,
All: Young men and women, old men and children.
Leader: Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens. And he has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his faithful servants of Israel, the people close to his heart.
All: Praise the Lord!
*HYMN #107 “Celebrate with Joy and Singing”
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, our judge and redeemer, we confess that we have tried to hide from you, for we have done wrong. We have lived for ourselves, and apart from you. We have turned from our neighbors, and refused to bear the burdens of others. We have ignored the pain of the world, and passed by the hungry, the poor and the oppressed. In your great mercy forgive our sins and free us from selfishness, that we may choose your will and obey your commandments; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
