Call to Worship
One:
How good it is to sing praises to our God!
All:
God heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds.
One:
The Lord counts the stars, and calls them each by name.
All:
How great is our God! God’s power is absolute,
and God’s understanding, beyond comprehension.
One:
So come, sing out your thanksgiving to God.
All:
Offer to God that worship that belongs to God alone!
-Psalm 147
Hymn of Praise
Be Still, My Soul

The Prayer of Confession
(in unison)
How can we look at this world and not sing of your praises, O God? The beauty and majesty of the world is overpowering! Yet we have a tendency to take all that you do for us for granted. We treat the world with callous indifference, using its resources carelessly and with little regard to the future. We insist on war as solutions for problems rather than peaceful striving. We turn our backs on people in need, the weak and downtrodden go unnoticed in our midst. We always believe that someone else will care for those in need. How foolish we are, O God! How ignorant we have become! You have given to us all that we need. You have blessed us with the witness of Jesus Christ who came so that we might learn how you would have us live, in honor and peace. Forgive us. Heal our hearts and spirits. Make us fully aware of all our blessings and our responsibilities. Give us again a spirit of joy in serving you. Help us be agents of peace and hope to others. For we offer this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This Little Light of Mine - arr. George Mabry

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Every day, I'm gonna let my little light shine. On Monday, he gave me the gift of love, on Tuesday peace come from above. On Wednesday, told me to have more faith; on Thursday, gave me a bit more grace. On Friday, told me to watch and pray; on Saturday, told me what to say. On Sunday, gave me power divine, just to let my little light shine.

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.
