Prayer of ConfessionMerciful and Generous God, we confess today that while we speak often of your grace, we are more comfortable with our own works. By our works we prove ourselves to others. By our works we seek to accomplish great things in your name. And yet we know that our lives are a gift from you. Before we turned to you, you had claimed us. Before we could prove ourselves, you loved us. Forgive us for working so hard for what you freely give. Teach us to receive and respond to your grace in the way we live. Hear us now as we offer our silent prayers of confession…

Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts

as we forgive our debtors,And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evilFor Thine is the kingdom and the

power and the glory forever. Amen.

Offering Our GiftsWith Every Breath Ken Medema

With every breath I take, O God, I will praise You.

With every word I speak, new hope I will sing.

When I lie down at night or when I greet the morning light,

Love of my Heart, praise to You gladly I’ll bring.

When I am weak, when I am strong,

View the bright day all the night long.

When there is hope, when hope is gone,

With every breath I’ll sing on.

WHY DOES THE CHURCH STIR UP SUCH NEGATIVE FEELINGS?In the last twenty years, favorable opinions of Christianity have plummeted drastically. Leading author Philip Yancey explores vanishing grace in our culture.
