CALL TO WORSHIP Kim Bowden-Adair One: O God, you are our Shepherd. All: You lead us as your flock. One: When we are in need, we cry out to you, All: “Restore us O God, let your face shine, that we may be saved.” In praise and thanksgiving we come to worship you Lord God, our shepherd and salvation.

OPENING SONG—In the Garden C. Austin Miles Doug Joppie, Soloist

PRAYER OF CONFESSION O Lord our God, you asked for my hands that you might use them for your purpose. I gave them for a moment, then withdrew them, for the work was hard. You asked for my mouth to speak out against injustice. I gave you a whisper that I might not be accused. You asked for my eyes to see the pain of poverty. I closed them, for I did not want to see. You asked for my life, that you might work through me. I gave a small part, that I might not get too involved. Lord, forgive my calculated efforts to serve you – only when it is convenient for me to do so, only in the places where it is safe to do so, and only with those who make it easy to do so. Father, forgive me, renew me, send me out that I might take seriously the meaning of your cross. Amen. —silent prayer—
