Call to Worship\u00a0\u00a0 Psalm 27 p. 758 (no musical response)<\/p>\n

*Hymn\u00a0 142 \u201cIf Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee\u201d v. 1,2.<\/p>\n

Confession\u00a0 (unison)
\nO merciful God, we confess that we have not acknowledged you as the source of our successes, our substance, our selves.\u00a0 We have been far more ready to complain when things go wrong than to praise when all is well.\u00a0 We have fed our bodies a rich diet while neglecting to feed our souls.\u00a0 Power and wealth have assumed greater importance to us than sensitivity and service.\u00a0 We have allowed religious words and forms to substitute for living encounters with the persons you have called us to love.\u00a0 Forgive us, compassionate Redeemer, and grant us the opportunity to start over again.\u00a0 Keep us from repeating the mistakes of the past\u00a0 or from new evils that could mislead or destroy.<\/strong> adapted from Lavon Bayler, Book of Worship<\/em>
\nSilent prayer
\nUnison Assurance
\nThank you, Lord, for your promises.\u00a0 Help us to keep \u201cinquiring in your temple\u201d and waiting with patience to see the \u201cgoodness of the Lord in the land of the living.\u201d\u00a0 Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proclamation and Praise: May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our rock and our redeemer<\/strong>.
\nGenesis 15:1-12,17-18;\u00a0\u00a0 Philippians 3:17-4:1;\u00a0 Luke 13:31-35.<\/p>\n

*Hymn\u00a0 451 \u201c Be Thou My Vision\u201d<\/p>\n

Concerns and Celebrations\u00a0 Let us remember in silence those we have named and\u00a0 those close to our hearts.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unison Prayer:
\nO eternal God, in whose appointment our life stands, and who committed our work to us, we commit our cares to you.\u00a0 We thank you that we are your children, and that we can rest under your wings.\u00a0 Fill us with that compassion for others\u2019 troubles which comes\u00a0 from forgetting our own; with the charity of those who know their own unworthiness; and with the glad hope of the children of eternity.\u00a0 And to you, the Beginning and the
\nEnd, Lord of the living, Refuge of the dying, be thanks and praise for ever. Amen<\/strong> from James Martineau, England 19th cent.
\n<\/em>
\nThe Lord\u2019s Prayer<\/p>\n

Offering\u00a0\u00a0 Remember the words of Jesus: \u201cIt is more blessed to give than to receive.\u201d<\/em>
\n*\u201d We Give Thee But Thine Own\u201d<\/p>\n

Prayer of Dedication (unison)
\nOur spiritual ancestors offered sacrifices to glorify you, O god; so would we honor you by these gifts.\u00a0 May they reach those who long for meaning as well as for life\u2019s other necessities.\u00a0 Grant your joy to all who give and all who receive.\u00a0 Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Hymn 118 \u201cThe Care the Eagle Gives her Young\u201d<\/p>\n

Benediction\u00a0 (unison)
\nGod gives life.\u00a0 God renews life.\u00a0 God is life.\u00a0 Let us celebrate the life within us and let it overflow to enliven the world.\u00a0 May the peace of God dwell within this week and forevermore.\u00a0 AMEN<\/strong><\/p>\n
