Greetings and Announcements

Call to Worship
Called to be light…
we shine God's hope into this world’s shadows.
Called to be salt…
we season the world around us with our joy.
Called to be disciples of Jesus…
we let His glory shine through our lives.
Let us worship together.
Hymn
“Del Alba al Despuntar ”
Confession and Pardon
Why not confess our mistakes? We shall be both forgiven and relieved of sin’s burden.
As the Holy Spirit helps us choose our words, let us pray together, saying…
Living God, as we break your commandments, we break your heart!
Yet we worship with our lips, not our lives.
We dishonor you with hardness of heart.
Our faith sometimes becomes more quarrelling than grace.
Forgive us, we pray.
Might we have the faith to shine forth the light of your salvation,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen
