"Come, Ye Thankful People, Come"

CALL TO WORSHIP

(Psalm 100)

Leader:  Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.

People: Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing. 

Leader:   Know that the LORD is God.  It is he that made us, and we are his people,

                and the sheep of his pasture.

People: Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give

                thanks to him, bless his name.

All:          For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his

                faithfulness to all generations.  Let us worship our God.  

   

THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION

(in unison)

Gracious God, in the company of your people, we confess our sins to you.

We have been angry and impatient, complaining about the faults of others,

and failing to see our own.  We have been lazy and selfish, neglecting the

interests of others, and pursuing our own.  We have been faithless and

unworthy, ignoring the strength you offer and relying upon our own.  God

of mercy, you have promised your grace to those who truly repent.  Help

us to accept your forgiveness, and dwell in us by your Spirit; through Jesus

Christ our Lord.  Amen.

(Followed by a moment of silent prayer.) 

 

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

Leader:  The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.  I declare to you,

                in the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.  May the God of mercy, who

                forgives you all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power

                of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.  Let us forgive one another.

                Amen.
