PRELUDE “He Leadeth Me: O Blessed Thought!” arr. Dale Wood
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCING THE DAY
A tended nursery is available during Sunday worship services.
It is located downstairs before you enter Fellowship Hall.
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS (stand)
P: Blessed be the † holy Trinity, the one who fashions us, the one who heals us, the one who reforms us again and again.
C: Amen.
P: Let us confess our sin, calling for God’s transforming power.
Silence for reflection and self-examination.
P: Source of all life,
C: we confess that we have not allowed your grace to set us free. We fear that we are not good enough. We hear your word of love freely given to us, yet we expect others to earn it. We turn the church inward, rather than moving it outward. Forgive us. Stir us. Reform us to be a church powered by love, willing to speak for what is right, act for what is just, and seek the healing of your whole creation. Amen.
P: God hears our cry and sends the Spirit to change us and to empower our lives in the world. Our sins are forgiven, † God’s love is unconditional, and we are raised up as God’s people who will always be made new, in the name of Jesus Christ. C: Amen.

AN ORDER FOR THE DISPOSAL OF DETERIORATING BIBLES
P: Let us pray:
C: We give thanks to you, O Lord of Knowledge and Truth, that you have provided for us the written word for our guidance and growth. While words written on paper may decay, we ask that the Word made flesh, our Lord Jesus Christ, may always live in our hearts and minds. And may we seek guidance and knowledge in the wonderful array of media that is provided for us in today’s world. In the name of the Living Word, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen!
P: We remember now the person(s) from whom these Bibles have come.
The congregation is invited to name the givers silently.
P: In Romans 10:17 Paul writes: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” The pages once read, now brittle and yellowing, are now returned for renewal. May they make new paper on which truth, beauty, and joy may be known.
C: Amen.
PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION Celebrate Insert
SHARING OF THE PEACE
P: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
C: And also with you.
(Share God’s Peace with your neighbor. If you would prefer not to shake hands, please feel free to extend “God’s Peace” to your neighbor through nodding or extending a grace-filled word without any physical touch.)
