worship of our God!

The Guide for Today: Five minutes before worship begin to center yourself for

the next panel. As we set the frame of our vision and welcome all in

song, we encourage all those attending to gather for worship.

WELCOME AND LIFE IN OUR CHURCH

*PASSING OF THE PEACE “The peace of Christ be with you.” Response: Surely the Presence PRAYER OF INVOCATION CALL TO WORSHIP

One: Most Holy God, we are here to worship you with our heart, our

mind and our soul.

All: We are your people of the salted covenant. We are the salt of

the earth.

One: We are your people who discover the miracle of “enough” in the

presence of God.

All: We come with joy in the knowledge that the Your Spirit which

lies in us remains constant through the seasons of life.

One: Then let us praise the God of the harvest, as we come with

anticipation for all that lies ahead at home, at church and in our

community.

*GATHERING HYMN (No. 1)

“For the Beauty of the Earth” (Verses 1-4) CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)

Loving provider God, as your creation, we are made in Your image to

represent You on earth, and to live in loving communion with You.

By sovereign appointment, you have placed us as caretakers; loving

our neighbor, tending the creation, and meeting needs. And yet we

stumble, because we have not heeded Jesus’ warning, that we

cannot love both God and wealth. Just as he said, our hearts have

focused first on our riches. Please forgive us. (We now pause to offer

our silent confessions.)

As history unfolds in ways we only know in part, all things— from crops to grades, from jobs to laws—are under His control. We believe God is present in our world by his Word and Spirit. We believe the faithfulness of our great Provider gives sense to our days and hope to our years. We believe the future is secure, for our world belongs to God.
