Call to Worship:
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
My hope is from God.
God alone is our rock and salvation;
We shall not be shaken.
Trust in God at all times, O people;
God is a refuge for us.
Congregational Prayer of Confession:
Our God, forgive us for failing to understand and accept the great demands placed
upon us by Your love. We enlist in Your causes, but find ourselves losing interest. We promise to be courageous, but find ourselves afraid. We want to be sensitive, but find ourselves hard and callous. Forgive us; take our limitations and turn them into possibilities for service. Have mercy on us and grant us Your peace. AMEN.
