Welcome & Announcements
Prelude
Call to Celebration Psalm 1 Elder, Janice McMahon L: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. P: But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day
and night.
L: He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers..
P: Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
L: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
ALL: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Prayer of Confession of Sins and Mistakes
(Time for Personal Prayer and Reflection)
[Unison] Heavenly Father, You know us so well. In fact, You know the very depths of our hearts, even better than we know ourselves. You perceive even those times when we might act in a posture of judgment and condemnation. Forgive us when we fail to remember that all human beings are fearfully and wonderfully made. Help us to be gracious and longsuffering with our friends, family, and even our enemies. You alone have washed away our sins through the blood of Jesus Christ. Remind us that You extend to all people an offer of merciful righteousness and grace. May we be grateful for Your love. AMEN.
