Prayer of Confession2
Almighty God,
we confess that we are often swept up
in the tide of our generation.
We have failed in our calling to be your holy people,
a people set apart for your divine purpose. We live more in apathy born of fatalism
than in passion born of hope.
We are moved more by private ambition
than by social justice.
We dream more of privilege and benefits
than of service and sacrifice.
We try to speak in your name without relinquishing our glories,
without nourishing our souls,
without relying wholly on your grace.

HYMN
CHILDREN’S MESSAGE
Let us welcome the children: “Jesus Loves Me”. “Jesus loves me! This I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but he is strong. Yes! Jesus loves me, Yes! Jesus loves me. Yes! Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so”.
PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after 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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
(Matthew 6:9-13)
SHARING LOVE & PEACE in PLACE
“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.”
(Matt 25:35 NLV)
