THE ORDER OF MORNING WORSHIP 12TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
10:00 AM JUNE 24, 2018
THE FIRST NOTE OF THE PRELUDE begins our worship. Please use
the prelude time to turn your attention to God’s presence and help. Nurturing our relationships and friendships in fellowship is
essential to our life as a congregation, so please continue to do so following our time of worship.
Those who are able are invited to stand.
FOCUSING UPON GOD’S PRESENCE AND VOICE
PRELUDE “What Wondrous Love Is This” APPALACHIAN FOLK HYMN Melanie Shimer, piano ARR. BY DON WYRTZEN
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: How very good and pleasant it is when sisters and
brothers live together in unity!
People: It is like the precious oil on the head, like the dew that
falls on the mountains of Zion!
Leader: Together, let us worship God.
OPENING PRAYER
HYMN #391 “This Is the Day” ESTE ES EL DÍA
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Leader: We strive to be strong and self-sufficient, but in truth we
are in constant need of grace. In penitence and faith, let
us confess our weakness to God and to one another.
People: Most merciful God, forgive us. We imagine that we can live
without you, when you give us our very breath. We seek
control over others rather than strive to live in unity.
