Invitation to Confession Prayer of Confession God of justice and love, you take away the sins of the world; have mercy upon us as we confess our sin. We call you God of creation, yet we serve idols of our own making. We confess Christ as our Savior, yet we cling to our own illusions of salvation and redemption. We claim the indwelling Spirit, yet we abide by our own counsel. Forgive our double-mindedness, and through Jesus Christ make us whole. (Silent Prayer) Assurance of God’s Grace * Response of Praise

The Prayers of Wild Things “O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.” (Psalm 104:24)
Moment of Silent Meditation
We Give Thanks to God * Affirmation of Faith from Song of Faith, United Church of Canada
Rev. Madison M. VanVeelen
We sing of God the Spirit, who from the beginning has swept over the face of creation, animating all energy and matter and moving in the human heart. We sing of God the Spirit, faithful and untameable, who is creatively and redemptively active in the world. The Spirit challenges us to celebrate the holy not only in what is familiar, but also in that which seems foreign. We sing of God the Spirit, who speaks our prayers of deepest longing and enfolds our concerns and confessions, transforming us and the world. Amen. Prayers of the People and 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. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. Invitation to Discipleship and Generosity EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

O quam suavis est Caleb Crawford, countertenor
O quam suavis est Domine, spiritus tuus, qui ut dulcedinem tuam infilios demonstrares, pane suavissimo de coelo praestito, esurientes reples bonis, fastidiosos divites dimittens inanes.
Joseph Jongen (1873-1953)
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.
