Lighting of the Candles/Placement of the Bible Prayer of Confession Merciful God, throughout your word you invite us to wait patiently on you and to live as glad and hopeful people. We confess today that at times we have been defiant in our refusal to wait on you. Our waiting evokes disappointment rather than gladness. We are easily embittered over circumstances that we cannot control. We find it hard to live with faithful patience. Forgive us, O God, and grant to us the gift of resting in you. Our days and our plans are in your hand. We relinquish them yet again as we continue our confession in silence… Assurance of God's Forgiveness* Congregational Response Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Offering Our Gifts "He Watches Over Israel" from Elijah FELIX MENDELSSOHN He, watching over Israel, slumbers not, nor sleeps. Shouldst thou, walking in grief, languish, He will quicken thee. Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow
