Walk With Me

The Keys of the Kingdom Seek Ye First

GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat or drink or wear? But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, And all these things shall be give to you as well. *HYMN #277

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (from The Study Catechism: Confirmation Version) Q.100 What is meant by the prayer, Your kingdom come? A. We ask God to come and rule among us through faith, love, and justice. We pray for both the church and the world, that God will rule in our hearts through faith, in our personal relationships through love, and in our community efforts through justice.

O God, Our Faithful God

ST. ANNE

RESPONSE TO THE WORD

PRESENTATION OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS OFFERTORY

*LITANY OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE We confess to you, O God, that anxieties cloud our days; We are burdened by concerns for family and friends, concerns about work, and a lack of confidence in the resources and gifts you provide. We confess to you, O God, the anxieties that cloud our church; We are concerned for the health of other believers, the direction of our ministry, and our differences about how to follow Jesus. We confess to you, O God, the anxieties that cloud our world; We worry about injustice and tyranny, about terror from outside and within, and our leaders abilities to resolve differences and achieve peace.

Every Valley

John Ness Beck

Evry valley shall be exalted, and evry mountain made low; and the crooked made straight, and the rough places plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all esh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Amen.

TIME FOR SILENT PRAYERS AND PERSONAL CONFESSION
