Call to Worship

Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.

Psalm 68:4-5

Let us confess our sins

Prayer of Confession            (unison)

Heavenly Father, you have loved us with an everlasting love, but we have gone our own way and broken your laws.  We are sorry for our sins and turn away from them.  For the sake of your Son who died for us, forgive us, cleanse us and change us.  By your Holy Spirit, enable us to live for you, and to please you more and more; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
