Hymn # 267 - All Things Bright and Beautiful
Unison prayer of confession:
Lord you have searched us, and you know
us.You discern our thoughts from far
away and are acquainted with all our ways. So you understand how lost we
sometimes feel, for evil has surrounded and grows in us.We confess that we have acted in our own
interest, without concern for others. We have betrayed those we love, told lies
to protect ourselves, and taken things we had no right to own. Loving God,
forgive our selfishness and deliver us from evil. Surround us with your mercy,
ground us in your ground, and lead us in your way, the way of the
everlasting.This we ask in the name of
Jesus Christ, your son, our living Lord and Savior, Amen.

Hymn # 467 - How Great Thou Art
Unison prayer of confession:
Merciful and loving God, through Jesus you
share your dreams for our lives and creation. You dream of a world in which
second miles will be walked; cheeks will be turned; evil will be returned with
good; enemies will be prayed for; and the greatest among us will be the
servants of all. You dream of a world where there will be peace and good will
among people. Forgive us when our dreams for ourselves and the world are not in
harmony with yours. Forgive us when our dreams lead to a life of selfishness,
greed, and consumption, instead of giving, sharing, and helping. Fill us with
your Spirit so that your dreams will become our dreams. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely for my account.Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

other things to get in the way.Forgive
