Prelude

Welcome

Call to Worship

Leader: Today we gather around God's table from near and far
People: We are the People of God!

Leader: For there is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism
People: We are One in God's Spirit!

Leader: We are one and together we remember our Lord Jesus
People: For we are the people of Redemption!

All: Come, let us worship the God of our Salvation!

Opening Hymn

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy UMH 340

Prayer of Confession

Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy.

Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Words of Assurance

Because we are not worthy to feast at God's table, God came to dine at ours through the body and being of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. So that as we feast with Him, we find redemption and forgiveness. Hear the good news of the Gospel: in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Alleluia! Amen!

May our actions, our words, and our very lives be a testament to your glory, shining forth your love and grace to all we encounter. Amen.
