GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP (adapted from Psalm 86) Rev. Stephen McKinney-Whitaker Come, Let us worship. Teach us Your ways, O Lord, that we may walk in Your truth; give us undivided hearts to revere Your name. We give thanks to You, O Lord our God, and we will glorify Your name forever. For Your love is great towards us; ...You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Let us worship, let us praise, let us give thanks to our God who is truth and love!
HYMN 366 Love Divine All Love's Excelling page 4
CONFESSION OF SIN (Unison) Rev. Pam Meilands Gracious God, you love us deeply yet we take your love for granted. Rather than trusting you, we trust the gifts you have given us. We confess that our misplaced hope and reliance is on money, intelligence and resources. Help us hope, trust and lean into you. Grow our love for you, that we might rely on you, and know you are the way, the truth and the love of our lives. Continue to pray silently.
ASSURANCE OF GRACE We have faith that God's love for us is the ultimate truth in our lives. God's love is forgiving and freeing. In Christ we are new creations. Friends, remember your baptism and believe the good news. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.

ANTHEM The Call: Come My Way, My Truth My Life Ralph Vaughan Williams Kelly Barth, soloist, and Grant Wareham, piano
Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:Such a Way, as gives us breath:Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Life, as killeth death.
Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:Such a Strength, as makes his guest.
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:Such a Joy, as none can move:Such a Love, as none can part:Such a Heart, as joys in love.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD'S PRAYER (Unison) Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
