Hymn God of Grace and God of Glory #577
*Unison Prayer of Confession (unison)
Forgiving god, you know how we are. We say that we will take time to refresh our spirits and our souls and then we quickly crowd our lives with activities to the point of exhaustion. We turn to you for feeding and nurture, asking you to give us something to sustain us through our times. We even are willing to tell you what we have, but when we look closely, we discover that we bring so little to you. Take what we have, our gifts and our needs. Heal and forgive us when we boldly disobey your word. Remind us that you have given to us all that we need to serve you in this world. The world abounds with your miracles of love and hope. Open our eyes to see them and our hearts to know that these are from you and not of our own making. Heal and restore us to your everlasting love. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. AMEN.
Assurance of Pardon
Gloria Patri (Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost ; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.) (Sing Joyfully #620)
Passing the Peace
Peace be with you! And also with you!
Proclaiming the Word
Psalter: Psalm 116
I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “Please, LORD, save me!”
How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The LORD protects those of childlike faith;
I was facing death, and he saved me.
Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
And so, I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!
I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”
What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.
