* Call to Worship Rev. Danny L. Carpenter
One: Our Triune God who created all things is with us.
All: God the Father, speaks to us.
One: God the Son, the Word incarnate, intercedes for us.
All: God the Spirit, the breath of God is in us and among us.
One: Gathered by God from near and far, as one people,
All: we lift our voice to our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.
* Prayer of Adoration
* Opening Hymn #139 Come, Thou Almighty King
Invitation to Confession
Prayer of Confession
Triune God, we praise you as the God of love and life. Though Jesus prayed that we would be one, we confess that we fail to live in unity with each other and with you. We break our communion through hostile words and unkind actions. We long for your Spirit to heal us and to correct us. We long for you to help us experience communion with you and with each other as we gather around your Word. Even now, dependent on your grace, we commit ourselves to live more fully in the unity you desire. Through Christ, our Lord. (Silent Prayer)

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Prayer after the Meal
Invitation to Discipleship and Generosity
O how sweet, Lord, is thy spirit, who, to show thy tenderness to thy children, feedest them with thy sweetest bread from heaven, feeding the hungry with good things, and sending the disdainful rich away empty.
