Call to Worship (based on Psalm 34)
I will bless the Lord at all times
Let the Praise of our God be continually in my mouth
My soul makes its boast in the Lord
Let the humble hear and be glad
O Come, magnify the Lord with me
Come let us exalt God’s name together
Prayer of Confession: God, I confess that sometimes I need to seek you. Sometimes my soul cries out for nourishment. The night falls and I am hungry, or lonely, or miserable. Help me when I need it, forgive me when I forget to ask, teach me what we need to learn I pray. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon: Taste and See that the Lord is Good, Let us tell one another the good news: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
Prayer of the Day/Dedication: May we always glorify the Lord, especially when that means taking time to listen for that still small voice, help us to focus in on what it is you are calling us to do we pray. Amen.
