INVOCATION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O Lord our God, Your majesty is in the heights of heaven and the
depths of earth, and fills all in all. Even as we praise You we ask for pardon for our
misuse of Your great gifts. Forgive us in family life when we fail to honor and support
each other. Forgive us in communal life when we choose to avoid or dismiss one another.
Forgive us in our private lives where we harbor our resentments and grievances. Restore us
to our true selves in the great love of Jesus Christ. Amen.

RESPONSIVE READING |
Psalm 23 |
Leader: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me
lie down in green pastures.
People: He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.
Leader: He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's
sake.
People: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Leader: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my
enemies; you anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
People: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
