WE APPROACH GOD

Prelude

Call to Worship/Peace

One: O Lord, Our Lord, how majestic is your name in all of the earth!

All: When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

One: the moon and the stars that you have established;

All: what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

One: You have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.

All: You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet.

One: The Peace of Christ be with you

All: And also with you

 *For the Beauty of the Earth (#19) [vs. 1-5]

 *Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us (#330)

Leader: We lift this prayer to the Lord

with 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.

Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power

and the glory forever.

Amen.

Offering

Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession

We confess, dear Lord, as creatures privileged with the care and keeping of your creation that we have abused your creation’s gifts through arrogance, ignorance, and greed. We confess risking permanent damage to your handiwork; we confess impoverishing creation’s ability to bring You praise. We confess that your handiwork displays your glory, leaving all of us without excuse but to know you. We confess that your handiwork provides the context of our living; it is our home, it is the realm in which we live the life of your kingdom: your kingdom that is now in our midst and coming yet more fully.
