We confess that it is still all too easy for us to sacrifice our convictions for convenience, your standards for status, your principles for promotion, your absolutes for ambition, our souls for shallow and unsatisfying success. How easily we are seduced by power, prestige, pleasure, or possessions to use these for our good rather than your glory. We turn from those things that please us temporarily and we turn to you who satisfies us eternally. Have and heal our heart as we silently confess to you... SILENT CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON * GREETING ONE ANOTHER: Leader: May the peace of Christ be with you.

I encourage everyone to please take some time...but not too much time :) to think and pray about it! If you find that it is something you are being called to do, please contact Becky Douglas to let her know! Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." When he had placed his hands on them, he went from there. - Matthew 19: 13-15
