ASSEMBLING IN GOD’S NAME
WELCOME
* CALL TO WORSHIP
One: All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to God;
All: God’s face is not hidden from us when We cry to God.
One: The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
All: For dominion belongs to the Lord, and God rules over the nations.
* OPENING PRAYER
* HYMN Purple Hymnal #49

CALL TO CONFESSION
UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you and one another in our thoughts, words and actions. The brokenness in us reflects the brokenness of our world, and it is deep and broad. Yet in your mercy and healing grace, you can restore us and empower us to walk in the way of Christ. In your mercy and healing grace, you can reform our paths toward love and justice for our neighbors and for the earth. In your mercy and healing grace, you can make your peace ‒ your shalom ‒ a reality in our communities and lives. Amen.
* ASSURANCE OF PARDON
One: God’s mercy and healing grace are sure for all. Friends, hear the good of the gospel: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven and restored. We are set on right paths of love, justice and peace.
All: Thanks be to God.
* GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father, and to the son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

MESSAGE Rev. Melissa Upchurch
* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (From A Brief Statement of Faith)
We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
