People: May we know your love that surpasses all knowledge, and may we be filled with all your fullness. WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS PRELUDE CONFESSING OUR FAITH based on 1 Timothy 3:15-16 Cathy Conn These are written, so you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

PASTORAL PRAYER (Prayers of the People) GOING INTO THE WORLD * SENDING SONG: Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates #8 * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Cathy Conn Remember your promises to us, O Lord. You are ever faithful; we are ever wandering. You are the God of truth; we wallow in lies. You are kind and gracious; we act out in anger and hate. You are love personified; we are lost in brokenness. Rescue and renew us. Heal us and hold us in your ever faithful hands. Trusting not in ourselves, but in your Son, our Savior, we confess our sins to you (silent confession) SILENT CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON * GREETING ONE ANOTHER: Leader: May the peace of Christ be with you.
