*GREETING ONE ANOTHER
 
*CALL TO WORSHIP                                              
     Leader:  There are so many voices that call to us daily.
          All: They call to us and compete for our trust and our allegiance.
     Leader:  As we enter a time of worship may we hear only the voice of Christ.
          All:  As we worship, let us listen and follow him now and always.
          Let us worship God.
 
*HYMN  #458  “Earth and All Stars”
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                        
We confess, O God, that we do not understand your ways.  They are above our ways.  Forgive our shallow faith; our easy attraction to the glitter of the world.   Discipleship is almost more than we are able to follow.  Forgive us for seeking the easy way.  Help us to find our way back to Jesus.  Amen.

IF DESIRING A VISIT: If you or a family member are in the hospital and you wish a visit, please contact the church office or any Deacon or Elder.  Due to privacy laws, the hospitals are not permitted to contact churches or reply to church's inquiries.   If you  know of anyone who needs or desires any other pastoral care, please also contact us.  During this time when we do not have a pastor, we should each do our part as Jesus designed to "carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."  (Galatians 6:2)
