Call to Worship

Sometimes God gets angry. 

People and nations don't do what they should.

Today, God reminds us of our covenant,

asking us to wash and make ourselves clean.

Learn to do good. Seek justice.

Remind us, O God, and show us the right way to go!

Hymn  #361 How Firm a Foundation 🎼

Confession of Sin

O God,

your call for justice is so clear

that we are amazed at how easily

we fail to hear you

over the din of daily life.

We want to cease to do evil.

We want to learn to do good.

Yet, we rarely do all we can

to rescue, defend, and plead

for those in need.

As you have sought us out,

so we seek your pardon.

Grant us courage, we pray,

as persons, as communities, and as nations,

to bring about the justice you desire. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon 💦

Time with Young Believers

Children are invited to go to Children’s Worship with our Children’s Worship Leader. Children will return to their parents during the final hymn.
