*GREETING ONE ANOTHER
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: We reach out for more than we can see and hear.
All: We long to know love’s embrace deep within.
Leader: We praise God, who saves us and gives us hope.
All: God cares for the earth and for each one of us. Let us worship God our creator and sustainer.
*HYMN #455 “All Creatures of Our God and King”
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
All knowing God, we know you understand us more deeply than we understand ourselves. You know how much the cares of this life weighs us down. We take so much for granted, failing to value the wonder of life all around us, the gift of family and friends, and the amazing reality of your Spirit dwelling in us. We want to be like good soil, receiving the seed of your word with understanding that nourishes roots of trust and joy. Free us from all that keeps us from bearing fruit for you. 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
