We gather as witnesses to your redeeming love; we worship in response to your encompassing love. Let your light shine upon us as we worship you in Spirit and Truth. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. (Please be seated.) CALL TO CONFESSION Jack Scharf PRAYER OF CONFESSION (in unison) Creator God, we find comfort in your eternal greatness, a greatness so vast we cannot imagine it. We find solace in your presence with us, even when we ask you for it.

Knowing that you know this, we stretch out our hands to you for healing. Touch us and renew us. Amen. SILENT PRAYER/REFLECTION WORDS OF ASSURANCE Leader: Christ looks to each of us and says: Here are my mother and my brothers. Here are my father and my sisters.

In the name of Christ, you are forgiven and made whole. People: In the name of Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
