Prelude Welcome, Announcements and Preparation *Opening Hymn Ours the Journey, 458 *Invocation Kerry Rietmann Gracious God, make each of us an instrument of your grace. Weave us into a community showing your power and tenderness. Bless us and our differences and undergird our courage to stand together. We call on you today to gather us in your love. Lead us to better know you and glorify you on each step of the journey of our lives. In the name of Jesus, let us now breathe in the love of God. Amen.

Pastor Stacy Shelton The Lords Table Invitation Prayer of Confession Holy God, our sins are numerous. We also shut our gates, close out others, are self-righteous and judgmental when you clearly call us to openness and welcome. We lack peace because of our unwillingness to surrender to you. We claim to love you but fail to keep your word. We pray for your forgiveness and the ability to forgive ourselves. Excerpted from goodpreacher.com.
