Handel CALL TO WORSHIP L: Come, all you whose souls thirst for the living God. P: We come in search of help and hope. L: Come, you who are acquainted with grief or oppression. P: We come bearing our doubts, our wounds, and our fears. L: Come, you who are in need of good news. P: We come in search of joy, truth, and light. L: Come and find refuge in God, your rock. P: Let us again praise the One who is our help and our hope. OPENING PRAYER *HYMN #307 God of Grace and God of Glory *CALL TO CONFESSION 2

3 *PRAYER OF CONFESSION (in unison) They can be such giants in our lives, God of Grace. Each day, our fears, our doubts, our worries wash over us, until we come to believe that you do not care for us. There seems to be so much wrong in the world, we are convinced that there is nothing good we can do. The storms of sin and temptation batter at us, and we cower, unable to find the faith to withstand them. Forgive us, God of Hope. Remind us that if we but open our hearts, you will heal us. If we but listen to your words, we will hear peace and joy. If we but open our lives to you, we can go forth to serve our sisters and brothers, even as we have been served by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. *KYRIE ELEISON (Lord, Have Mercy) Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. *ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS *GLORIA PATRI #581 Glory be to the Father *SHARING GOD S PEACE PROCLAIMING GOD S WORD SCRIPTURE READING New Testament 2 Corinthians 6:13 Pew Bible pg. 171 New Testament Mark 4:34-41 Pew Bible pg. 37 This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God! 3
