"My Faith Looks Up To Thee"

BENEDICTION
Go now, proclaiming to all how much Jesus has done for you.
Be as one with each other in Christ. Wait for the Lord, and be
ready to hear Gods voice, even in the sounds of sheer silence.

TIME WITH YOUNG PEOPLE (Congregation sing)

"These Treasured Children present now are bound to us by
sacred vow: with love, we make a heartfelt claim to welcome
them in Jesus' name.

And may God be your fortress; May Christ Jesus release you
from all that torments you; And may the Holy Spirit give you light
and truth to sustain you day and night.

FIRST LESSON

We go in peace to love and serve the Lord,

In the name of Christ. Amen.

PSALM 146
Jesus Knows the Inmost Heart
(Glory To God Hymnal p. 427)

SECOND LESSON

SERMON
*CALL TO CONFESSION
Before we speak, God knows our needs, yet our words open our
hearts to God's grace. Let us prepare ourselves for God's healing
as, in words and silence, we tell of all that separates us from God
and one another. Please join me as we pray...

*Hymn 383

We are God's beloved children, and will model God's grace

and love in our hearts. Thanks be to God! We are forgiven!
Amen.

ANTHEM
I will praise God in every moment, and through every situation.
Through my words and action, my life will pay tribute to Him.
Whenever the poor and humble hear of His greatness,
they will celebrate, too! Come and lift up Gods name with me;
lets praise His name together!

Carrying the Word Into the World

(inspired by Ephesians 4:32)

Now that we have let go of the pain, the bitterness, the anger of
our lives, let us be kind, tender-hearted, and gentle towards each
other, forgiving as God has forgiven us.

Gathering Hymns

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 and ever. Amen.

the hope and love others need in their lives, even as Jesus
Christ, our Lord and Savior, brought these gifts to us, calling
us to be faithful with the grace, peace, and joy entrusted to us.

Prayer of Confession
First of all, Everlasting God, we must confess how we have not
lived as your people. We serve many masterswork, wealth,
power, addictionsyet find no hope in them. We hear the cries
of the poor, and shut the doors of our hearts to them. We
ridicule those who expose their hopes and dreams to us.
Forgive us, Compassion's Heart, and heal us of our
brokenness. Make us well, so that by our healing, we might be
