May we have unity of mind and heart as we open ourselves to the movement of your Holy Spirit. As your love grows within us, may we have rich fellowship with you and with one another. In Christ’s name. Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “It Is Well With My Soul” *OPENING HYMN “Holy, Holy, Holy ” (please refer to the screen) CALL TO WORSHIP: L: God's glory is pouring forth from the heavens. P: Earth below receives the good news with great joy. L: The promise is sure and true, that Jesus has come to show us the best ways to serve God. P: By serving and caring for others, we truly serve God. L: Come, let us prepare ourselves for joyful service. P: Lord, make us ready for great service in your name. AMEN. HYMN “Surely the Presence” - 328 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Waiting God, you know us all too well. We listen to this episode in the life of Jesus. We hear the astonishment of the people gathered in worship as Jesus proclaims the mandate and scope of his ministry. It is what they had hoped for and also what they have feared. Change and challenge are always difficult. We are more inclined to turn our backs on opportunities of service than pitch in to affect the needed changes that will promote healing and wholeness. Forgive us when we give lip service to you and then slip into inaction. Give us courage to be willing disciples. Help us to be people of promise and hope. In Jesus' Name, we offer this prayer. AMEN.
