Call to Worship
Leader: How wonderful is our God! His glory exceeds the greatest praise of our lips.
People: We bless the Lord our God with heart, mind, and soul; and still we feel we have hardly begun to praise his name.
Leader: We have reached deep into space, and yet have only scratched the surface of his creative works;
People: All praise and honor be to God. To Him be the glory forever!

* Prayer of Confession
Heavenly Father, we know the satisfaction of being nurtured by your Son. But we still go astray, only to find our hunger unsatisfied. Forgive us when we have walked away even as you invite us to partake of your blessings. Forgive us too, for our failure to be in ministry, sharing your blessings with others. Feed us, Lord till we want no more, and then send us forth to share your overflowing blessings with others. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen

*Silent Confession

*Declaration of Forgiveness
Pastor: The Scriptures declare that Christ Jesus entered the world to rescue sinners. He personally bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might be dead to sin and alive to all that is good.
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Amen.
