A TIME FOR PRAISE AND PRAYER
ςPraise Songs: #597 "Take My Life and Let It Be" verses 1, 4
Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days - let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
#337 "Nothing But the Blood" vs 1, 2
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain: O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see, Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Refrain
Call to Confession
Prayer of Confession
Dear God, you have only to listen to the news to know that we humans have a hard time living together. We have forgotten the basic Ten Commandments that begin to teach us what love looks like. We have made idols out of people and things in our lives, we have not always honored our parents, and we have coveted and wished we had what our neighbor had or been more life them than who you have made us to be. Forgive us. Help us to begin again to reach out in love to you, to other, and to ourselves. Amen.

because of what the Lord has done for us. (repeat) "Give Thanks."
ς Prayer of Offering Dedication (In Unison)
We bring our offerings, O God, not to buy your favor, but to express our gratitude, and to further your mission. We support the church in its efforts to challenge the false wisdom that prevades our culture. We seek to make this community of faith a center of values that are consistent with your will. May we be zealous in your service, willing to sacrifice for love's sake, and eager to embrace your word in our everyday living. Amen.
