It is our expressed hope that in this time we might offer worship which

celebrates Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in a format which is both

Biblically-based and contextually relevant. We invite you to join us in God-

directed, life-giving praise and worship of our God!

The Guide For Today: Five minutes before worship is when we start to center

ourselves for worship. Consider reading the meditative reflection passage

on the next panel. We encourage all those attending to gather for worship

as we set the frame of our vision and welcome all in song.

The words to the songs are on the screens.

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison) Eternal God, you have revealed your love by the light of your Christ and taught your faithful people by the light of your Spirit. Enlighten our hearts and minds that we may give up our attachment to the darkness of sin and evil. Outside these walls, we are constantly tempted to choose darkness rather than light: to use people, to love things, to gamble, to do whatever it takes to get whatever we want. We confess we have not put up much of a fight against temptation, nor sought your ever-present support to defeat those particular demons which appeal to us. Shine in the dark caverns of our hearts, where we hide our secret thoughts and desires. Make us radiant with your love, that others may see our good works and glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. (We now pause to offer our silent confessions.)
