PRAYER OF INVOCATION

LORD'S PRAYER

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.

*MUSIC OF PREPARATION #570 "We Gather Together"

FIRST SCRIPTURE READING Philippians 4: 4 - 9

(Pew Bible p. 1140 ; Large Print Bible p. 1830 )

CONFESSION OF SIN
Lector: Merciful God, we are aware of the ways our faith falls short. In our pride, we wait too long to ask for your help. In our self-absorption, we ask that our will, not your will, be done. Even when you rescue us from our misery, we quickly return to our careless ways. Aware of these failures, we turn our eyes to you, trusting in your love and mercy. People: Amen.
( A silent moment of personal confession follows)

GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S FORGIVENESS

Minister: Since the Lord is our shepherd, we have obtained life and salvation through Jesus Christ. In him, we are forgiven and free. Amen

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.
