CALL TO WORSHIP
adapted from Psalm 17:6-7
I call upon you, knowing you will answer me, You incline your ear to me, hearing my words. Trusting in God’s steadfast love, let us worship God. HYMN 463
How Firm a Foundation FOUNDATION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION unison Holy and Loving God, too often we are distracted by our own agendas. We do not notice your presence among us. We wrestle with the sound of your voice and the sound of the voices in the world around us. Time and time again we prioritize the voices we hear and the faces we see in the world around us. Forgive us, God. Attune us to you. Open the eyes of our hearts to see what you are doing in and around us in a time when we struggle to recognize all that you are doing. In the name of Christ we pray, Amen. ASSURANCE OF PARDON
