WELCOME CALL TO WORSHIP We give thanks to the Lord and sing praises to our God. We seek the Lord’s presence continually, searching for divine strength from the one who offers us divine love. With grateful hearts and confident voices, let us worship God. HYMN 624
I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art TOULON
PRAYER OF CONFESSION unison
God of the forsaken and rejected, we know that all people are made in your image, and we confess that we have not always treated others with compassion and respect. There are people in our lives who make us angry, and our anger has led us to act in ways that are unloving and hurtful. We have justified actions that we would otherwise find appalling. Forgive us, Lord. Melt our anger so that we can see the truth and the consequences of our actions. We humbly ask for your mercy, trusting your promises of forgiveness. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. 1
