Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Sara McCurdy |
You have crowned Jesus Christ as Lord of all. We confess that we have not bowed before him, and are slow to acknowledge his rule. We give allegiance to the powers of this world, and fail to be governed by your justice and love. Forgive us, God, and fill us with compassion that we might seek out the image of Christ in the least of our brothers and sisters. Now in your presence we offer our silent prayers of confession that we might hear our names called among the faithful when you come again in glory. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder John Evans |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |
