*CALL TO WORSHIP   "From Psalm 27"                                     

One: The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 

All:    The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 

One:  As we behold the beauty of God’s temple, we see God’s face. 

All:    God is our shelter and our shade. We will sing to the God of our salvation!

 

*HYMN No. 401                                 “Here in This Place”     (verses 1,2, 4)                                   GATHER US IN

 

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                                                                Jim Legg

Christ, our Messiah, you call us to join you and fish for people, but we are reluctant to leave our boats. We are afraid to let go of our familiar ways, believing they make us secure and safe. We are afraid to put our trust in you, afraid to follow, afraid we will fail. Forgive us. Transform our fear into faithfulness, and enable us to walk with you, that we may be part of your work in the world. Hear what holds us back in the silence…
