Prelude Sherry Stratton CALL TO CELEBRATION Elder Connie Campbell
(A Collection of Holy Scripture)
L: I will exalt you, O Lord, because you have lifted me up and have not let my enemies triumph over me.
P: O Lord my God, I cried out to you, and you restored me to health.
L: Sing to the Lord, you faithful servants; give thanks for the remembrance of God's holiness.
P: You have turned my wailing into dancing; you have put off my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy.
ALL: Therefore, my heart sings to you without ceasing; O Lord My God, I will give you thanks forever.

Prayer of Confession of Sins and Mistakes
(Time for Personal Prayer and Reflection)
[Unison] Heavenly Father, even as we have done it unto one of the least of these, your children, we have done it unto you. When they hunger and thirst we are not quick to offer them the bread of life and the cup of salvation. When they are outcast or imprisoned we seldom go out of our way to visit them. When they are sick or alone, we are not quick to keep vigil at their side. Forgive us when we do not go out of our way to be there for you. We pray for your forgiveness and for the strength to be better servants of our Lord. Help us to be all that you want us to be. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
