PRELUDE
CALL TO WORSHIP Julie Har
Jesus said: “This is my commandment; Love one Another.”
We are come to worship the God who is love, that we may learn to love one another.
Jesus said; “No longer do I call you servant; but now I call you my friends.”
We come to worship the God whose friends we are through Christ.
Let us sing praises to God, and live in love and friendship toward all humanity, through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

*UNISON CONFESSION OF SIN
Object Lesson - Brass Vase Hannah Sherrod
Loving God, your love for us is sometimes so hard to accept, for we know how often we disappoint you. We have wandered so far away from our true home. We have spent our money on what does not satisfy. We have given in to despair and let a river of tears fall from our eyes. We have been too proud to ask for help. Loving God, always waiting yearning and looking for our return, speak to our hearts and quicken our steps back to you. Thank you that you do indeed remember us and welcome us home. Amen.

Friends, Hear the good news of the Gospel:
In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

Chelsea Richmond
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
