Invitation and Benediction* Postlude
Lighting the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Thank you, Lord, for your steadfast love and patience with us. You stand by us when our convictions are compromised, when we break our promises, and when we do the evil we say we will never do. Forgive us for being impatient with the imperfections in others. Forgive us when, in our attempt to correct others, we do more harm than good. Teach us how to look more and more like love in a world that is choked with evil; for we ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Assurance of Forgiveness Congregational Response* All Creatures of Our God and King #100, v. 6
Offering Our Gifts The Heavens Are Telling
from Creation | Haydn
The heavens are telling the glory of God! With wonders of his work resounds the firmament! Revealed are his ways by day unto day, The night that is gone to following night. In every land is known the Word, Every ear will harken, never tongue be dumb. Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544
