Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession
Lord God, while we were still slaves to sin, you died for our salvation. Yet we still worship the false gods of the world, forgetting that you are Lord. Loving worldly wealth, we have not loved you with our whole heart nor loved our neighbors as ourselves. Trusting worldly strength, we have not trusted your word nor followed the Word-made-flesh. Forgiving by worldly norms, we have not shown mercy to others as you have shown mercy to us. Forgive us yet again, we pray in Christ’s name. Amen.

Welcome & Announcements

Lighting of the Christ Candle

Call to Worship (Responsive)
One: You, who are many, are transformed to become one in Christ.

Let us worship God.

Hymn #65 “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”

Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession
Forgiving God, we confess that we are conformed to this world. We conform to this world’s frantic pace, too hectic to notice all the blessings you provide. We conform to this world’s reckless waste, exploiting what you entrust to our care. We conform to this world’s shallow values, oblivious to the giftedness of people different from us. We conform to this world’s impatient attitudes, preferring the latest instead of the lasting. Forgive our conformity and transform us, O God. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

A GATHERING AROUND THE WORD

Prelude: Adagio from Toccata, Adagio, and Fugue in C major, BWV 564 J. S. Bach

Welcome & Announcements

Lighting of the Christ Candle

Call to Worship (Responsive)
One: Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
All: But, how can anyone call on one they do not know? And, how can they know if they have not heard?
One: Indeed, how can they hear without messengers to preach good news? How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!
All: Our feet have brought us to this house of God that we may hear. Speak, O Lord, that we may know and go in your name.

Hymn #410 "God Is Calling through the Whisper”

Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession
God of Hidden Light, Sun behind dark clouds, Calm amidst whirling winds, Peace within stormy seas, We come seeking safe harbor for our battered souls. Weary and worn, we now confess the fears that rock our boats and the faults that weigh us down. For clinging to the dead weight of regrets and resentments, trusting only our past failures to guide us, God of mercy, forgive us. For mooring ourselves to the false anchors of shame and guilt, losing the bearing of your image within us, and treating ourselves and others as enemies and fools, God, by your love, blot out our sin. Renew your image within us, and rekindle your spirit between us. Set us on a new course, buoyed by your peace, guided by your grace, and powered by your Spirit of Truth, Amen.

Assurance of Pardon (based on Romans 10:10,13)
One: Brothers and sisters, hear the good news: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!”
All: With our hearts we believe and are justified; with our mouths we confess and so are saved. Thanks be to God

This morning we welcome Rev. Bennie Braddick to our pulpit. Originally from Texas, Bennie has been preaching and teaching in central Kentucky since 2005. After a 15-year pastorate in Lexington, she explored a new call to serve immigrants and refugees by becoming certified to Teach English as a Second Language (TESL). While serving a 3-year pastorate in Georgetown, Kentucky, she also taught speakers of 18 languages from 30 countries at BCTC Adult Ed in Lexington. Bennie recently accepted a call to serve Stanford Presbyterian Church as interim pastor. In their spare time, Bennie and her husband, David, love taking their little dog, Diesel, on long hikes through Kentucky’s amazing landscape, as well as biking, eating local food, listening to live music, and traveling. They especially enjoy traveling to visit their adult children, Sarah and Lucas, who live in Ohio and North Carolina.
