Call to Worship (from Psalm 31)
Leader: Into your hand I commit my spirit;you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
People: I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love.
Leader: How abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you!
All: Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me.

Hymn | “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”

Prayer of Confession (unison)
Giving Lord, you provide faithfully for our needs, but we too easily see our lack. Open our eyes to see your abundance, that we may share abundantly.

You shower us with gracious love, yet we too often doubt our worth. Open our hearts to receive your love, that we may love others as you do.

You have created us in your own image and gifted us with skills and abilities, yet we too commonly waste these gifts or use them for our own gain. Open our hands to serve, that we may impact this world for your kingdom.

Open our eyes, open our hearts, and open our hands, that we may receive and share your gifts, O generous God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Silent Prayer

Assurance of Pardon (Isaiah 12:2)

People: for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
Leader: In Christ, we are forgiven!
All: Thanks be to God.

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen. Amen.

Stewardship Moment

Affirmation of Faith (2 Corinthians 9:8-11)
Leader: Lord, our financial pledges are an affirmation of our faith. Along with these pledges we declare:
People: We believe that you make grace abound to us, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, we may abound in every good work.
Leader: We believe that You, who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply our seed for sowing and increase the harvest of our righteousness.
People: We believe that we will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, to produce thanksgiving to God.
Leader: Therefore, may we live with a faith that reflects your faithfulness.
People: May we live with a trust that reflects your trustworthiness.
Leader: May we offer sacrifices that point to Your sacrifice on the cross.
People: May we live with a joy that points to the resurrection.
Leader: May we live with a love that leads others to your kingdom.
All: May we live with a hope that carries us into eternity. Amen.
