CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Let us worship God, our light and our salvation.
All: The Lord is the stronghold of our lives.
Leader: We desire to live in God’s house and to seek God in his holy temple.
All: We have come with shouts of joy, to sing and to make music to the Lord.
Leader: Let us worship God in spirit and in truth.
All: Teach us your ways and make straight our paths in this hour of worship and always.
*HYMN #387 “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us”
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord, sometimes our lives have such little focus: we have so much to do; we possess so much stuff; we’re driven by the need for still more--and it easily seems to control us. We’re sorry, Lord, for how distracted we’ve become and for losing our way without even realizing it. Forgive us and help us to know that you are the only one we need. 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
