WE GATHER IN CHRIST S NAME PRELUDE ORDER FOR CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins. P: In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. P: Almighty God, C: to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. P: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. P: Most merciful God, C: we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen. P: In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. 3

SECOND QUARTER GIVING JUG (April May and June), Food for the Poor is a ministry which serves those who are hungry primarily in the Caribbean area of the world. They direct their efforts to individuals and communities which lack access to food through the way we take for granted. That is they serve people who have no access to stores or farmers markets because those entities do not exist or they have no financial resources with which to pay for food. Food for the Poor sends out speakers to congregations like ours to share with us the story of the ministry and to put a face to those who serve as ministers through Food for the Poor. We have in the past supported the ministry of Food for the Poor and will again this year. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL NEEDS. Sheet of needs is laying on the back counter in the Fellowship Hall.
