ONE: May the peace of Christ be with you.
ALL: And also with you.

Leader: You fill our mouths with laughter, O God, with our tongues we shout for joy. 
Congregation: You have done great things for us, O God; we come before you with praise on our lips.
Leader:  Come, let us worship the Lord.

Unison:  God of mercy, hear us as we confess our sin. Power beguiles us and we deem ourselves worthy. Our good works convince us that we can assure our salvation.

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.

Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and you Word is proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. AMEN
