earth!

give glorious praise.

cringe before you.

Passing the Peace of Christ
PRAISE HYMN: “I Could Sing Of Your Love
Forever”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison): Merciful God,
whose ways are not our ways and whose thoughts are not our thoughts, we confess
to you our sin. We have not loved you
with all our hearts nor our neighbors as ourselves. Forgive the wandering of our minds and
aimlessness of our lives. Forgive our
sin and restore in us a right spirit that we may love you and serve you. In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.
