*CALL TO WORSHIP

ALL:  (Hymn 104 Verse 1)  Christ is risen!  Shout Hosanna!  Celebrate this day of days!  Christ is Risen!  Hush in wonder:  All creation is amazed.  In the desert all surrounding, See, a spreading tree has grown.  Healing leaves of grace abounding Bring a taste of love unknown.

ONE:  God is gracious to us and blesses us.

ALL:  Let us praise God; let all the people praise God!

ONE:  The earth has yielded its increase; may we continue to see God’s blessings all around us.

ALL: Let us praise God; let all the people praise God!                (From Psalm 67)

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (Unison)

We  are all Your children, O God, and we often fight like brothers and sisters! Forgive us when we do not take time to listen to each other, when we insist on our own way, and when we bring grief to each other. Give us the patience we need every moment of our day. Help us through our difficulties, and bring us to Your chosen end together.

*SILENT PRAYER

*ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PARDON

*GLORIA PATRI (Hymn 579)

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

TIME WITH THE CHILDREN

Jesus loves me, this I know!  For the Bible tells me so.  Little ones to him belong, They are weak, but he is strong!  Yes, Jesus loves me!  Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so!

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus, Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain, and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. We believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!                 (10.1, 10.2, 10.6)
