Leader: To my sisters and brothers I will speak of your glory: People: O Lord our God, how majestic is your name!
Leader: In the great congregation I will sing your praise: People: O Lord our God, how majestic is your name! - Psalms 8:1,9; Hebrews 2:12
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
You gave us commandments, God of love, because you knew the hardness of our hearts. You have created us to live in community, and still we oppress others and separate ourselves from each other and you. Jesus loved the children, but there are still children in the world who live in hunger or fear, rejected and unloved. Forgive us, and call us to faithfulness. Bind all your children together as sisters and brothers, and nurture us with your love and forgiveness, that we might share what we have been given, and receive your kingdom with the wonder and gratitude of children. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
*THE PASSING OF THE PEACE
Leader: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! People: And also with you.
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH
(Visitors and members are invited to sign the blue friendship register pad and pass it down the pew.)

THE OLD TESTAMENT LESSON Genesis 2:18-24 (page 2 in the pew Bible, OT)
THE ANTHEM Mothering God, You Gave Me Birth Tom Trenney
Mothering God, you gave me birth in the bright morning of this world. Creator, source of every breath, you are my rain, my wind, my sun. Mothering Christ, you took my form, offering me your food of light, grain of life and grape of love, your very body for my peace. Mothering Spirit, nurturing one, in arms of patience hold me close so that in faith I root and grow until I flower, until I know. (Text: Jean Janzen, based on Julian of Norwich)

THE NEW TESTAMENT LESSON Hebrews 1:1-5, 2:5-12 (page 204 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: Jesus said, Let the children come to me. People: Just the same, God receives us with grace, welcome and love. Leader: Though we do not deserve it, believe the promise of the Gospel. People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. -Mark 10:14
