*CALL TO WORSHIP 

One:  Source of Life, in the beginning,

All:   you made us and called us beloved.

One:  When we forget how to love,

All:   you remind us we are beloved.

One:  When the powers of the world try to oppress us,

All:   you name us beloved.

One:  When our siblings in faith condemn us,

All:   you claim us: beloved.

          We are your beloved, so today we sing your praises, Source of Love.

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                                  Doug Slusher, Director of Music Emeritus

Loving Shepherd, You guide us with open arms, welcoming all your flock. Yet, your church has far too often strayed from your path of boundless love. We’ve been seen as ones who judge rather than listen, ridicule rather than love, cast out rather than welcome, and condemn rather than celebrate. And in the process, your church has turned so many away from your love, care, and mercy. Forgive us for forgetting that we are all sheep of your flock, and You are our Shepherd. Forgive us when we have not listened for Your voice and have instead acted in ways that harm and marginalize others. Guide your church back to Your path, to loving You and loving all your children without exception. Help us to open our hearts and our doors as we extend our hands in hope and healing, acceptance and love, until your church. In the name of Christ our Shepherd, we pray. Amen.

All:      And also with you.

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION                        

SCRIPTURE  Psalm 23  KJV 

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

Holy Wisdom, Holy Word

Thanks be to God
