Prayer to God
Call to Confession:
Let us confess to God and before one another our sins, and especially the ways we falsely assume we are superior to our brothers and sisters.
Unison Prayer of Confession:
We confess to you, O God, and before one another that we have sinned. You have loved us with a love that has no bounds, and yet we have loved others with a love that has many conditions. We judge others and find them less than ourselves, while you judge them and declare them your daughters and your sons. Forgive our foolish haughtiness, and bring us once again to the joy of living humbly in the knowledge of who we are in your sight and the esteem of who others are in your sight. Amen.

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 sins, as we forgive those who sin against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen
SHARING OF OUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS
OFFERTORY INVITATION:
God bids us travel light on this journey through life. We make elaborate excuses for the vast accumulations most of us have undertaken instead. This is a good time to examine our motives, our relationships to our neighbors whose vineyards we covet and exploit, and our responsibilities to one another. The church of Jesus Christ seeks to re-order the world’s priorities. Our offerings help us as well as all others we seek to help.

*DOXOLOGY #95
*OFFERTORY PRAYER
We have heard your voice, O God, and are compelled to give from the rich abundance you entrust to us. We seek to do good to all people, to labor in the harvest, and to send out others. To do this gives us great satisfaction and joy. Thank you, God, for the marvelous privilege of giving. Amen.
