*Call to Worship (congregation reading bold)
We gather today to worship God, who listens when we call.
We gather to rest in the shadow of God’s wings.
We gather to pray to God, who answers us when we call.
We gather to lift our voices in the shadow of God’s wings.
We gather to praise God, who rescues us when we call.
We gather to rejoice in the shadow of God’s wings.
Beloved, come! Let us worship God, who covers and delivers us in Love.
We gather to worship in the shadow of God’s wings.

*Opening Prayer
Eternal God, the refuge and help of all your children, we praise you for all you have given us, for all you have done for us, for all that you are to us. In our weakness, you are strength, in our darkness, you are light, in our sorrow, you are comfort and peace. We cannot number your blessings, we cannot declare your love: For all your blessings, we bless you. May we live as in your presence, and love the things that you love, and serve you in our daily lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

​

*Prayer of Confession (in unison)
O Lord, You have examined our hearts and know everything about us. You know when we sit down or stand up. You know our thoughts from afar. You see when we walk or lie down .You know every detail of our conduct. You even know what we are going to say before we say it. Such knowledge is too wonderful for us, too great for us to understand. Cleanse us from hidden faults. Keep us from deliberate sins. Don’t let them control us. Then we will be free of guilt, and innocent of serious wrongdoing.
