2 Children and Worship We value children and lcome all ages into the life of the church. We believe that children are gifts from God and are vital to our family of faith. Children s worship packets are available on the table as you enter the sanctuary. These packets include activities directly related to the theme of the day. If you cannot locate a packet, please ask an usher. During the worship service invite children to come forward for the Children s Moments. Children may come forward or not; celebrate their choice. Children learn to be disciples by participating in a loving and caring community of faith. The first Sunday of every month, the whole congregation celebrates communion together. On other Sundays, provide a unique age appropriate children s worship and education time immediately following the Children s Moments during the worship service. Children, K 5 th grade are lcome to attend Children s Church located in room 107. A nursery is available for children birth to kindergarten. It is located on the elevator side first floor in rooms 109 and 111. The nursery staff is employed by Pine Shores. If your child becomes uncomfortable in worship there is a live feed in the narthex with both sound and video. Reading from the Psalter Psalm 91:9-16 (Old Testament, Page 518) Call to Confession Leader: We all fall short of the glory of God. Today as gather together as the body of Christ, let us confess our sins against God and our neighbors. Prayer of Confession All: We pray for forgiveness this day. For choosing por over service, forgive us. For seeking glory rather than humility, forgive us. For pushing ourselves to the front, when our presence is needed on the sidelines, forgive us. Help us know where are needed and how best to serve you and your people. Guide us to your side, that might be your hands of healing and compassion for a world in need. Moment of Silent Confession & Assurance of Pardon Leader: In Jesus Christ, God forgives us and grants us mercy and grace. Believe the good news of the gospel. People: In Jesus Christ are forgiven.

Prayer of Gratitude Hymn of Dedication (Please stand if able) #343 Called as Partners in Christ s Service Affirmation of Faith We choose community which brings us together as one body, different and yet the same singing, praying, accepting, and loving each other as have been loved by Christ. We choose gratitude which honors the abundance of God s gifts, counting our blessings one by one, embracing life as God intends, living in faith not fear, light, not darkness, hope not despair. We choose commitment which expresses our passion for sharing the good news of God s love to a broken and hurting world supporting ministry and mission with our time, talent, and treasure. We choose caring with intentional acts which opens our heart to journey with others along the way sharing struggles and successes, joys and concerns with compassion and kindness. We choose serving which acknowledges the needs of others, near and far, and expresses our love for God and one another becoming the hands, feet, and heart of Christ in real and tangible ways. We choose lcome which affirms the scriptural call providing hospitality, embodying grace rather than judgement, being inclusive rather than exclusive, and affirming all as God s beloved. We choose Christ like living.
