Please put all electronic devices away while we worship God together.) RESPONSIVE CALL TO WORSHIP / CONVITE À ADORAÇÃO L: Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. P: Let us turn our hearts to our Lord God, our creator and sustainer. All: Let us worship God. *HYMN / HINO # 464 “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” *UNISON PRAYER OF PRAISE / ORAÇÃO DE LOUVOR EM UNÍSSONO O God who delivers those wo do not ask, and whose deliverance comes without our even realizing we have prayed for it through our moans in secret and our struggles with one another, we praise you for your power and your works in secret. All praise to you for your quiet works that hold the world together, work justice, and keep so many of us from simply being swallowed alive. We marvel at your gracious, mysterious ways through the twists and turns, the canyons and crevices, the alleys and boulevards of our every moment. Amen. CALL TO CONFESSION / CHAMADA PARA CONFISSÃO DE FÉ UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION / ORAÇÃO DE CONFISSÃO EM UNÍSSONO We love circles, righteous God, especially our inner circles. We like power to keep others out as much as we relish knowing that we are in. Our heads spin with excitement; too fast to see others’ needs. Big wheels keep on turning, drawing some to a center aglow with celebrity, popularity and prominence; flinging other to the fringes to be ignored. Round and round we go, where we stop only you know. Forgive us for our desire to live in the inner circles. Keep us centered and grounded in your saving love and gracious forgiveness. Amen. KYRIE ELEISON (# 572) Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS / DECLARAÇÃO DO PERDÃO L: Jesus Christ came to save sinners’ souls from death and has covered a multitude of sins. P: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Praise God! *DOXOLOGY (#592) Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Psalm of the Day / Salmo do Dia: Psalm 124 Donna Fischer If it had not been the Lord who was on our side – let Israel now say – if it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when our enemies attacked us; then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; then over us would have gone the raging waters. Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Lesson / Lição: James 5:13-20
