PRELUDE Carolyn Roy

WORDS OF WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS Paula Oliver

L: O Merciful God, we confess that we have not acknowledged you as the source of our successes, our substance, our selves.

P: We have been far more ready to complain when things go wrong than to praise when all is well.

L: We have fed our bodies a rich diet while neglecting to feed our souls.
P: Power and wealth have assumed greater importance to us than sensitivity and service.

L: We have allowed religious words and forms to substitute for living encounters with the persons you have called us to love.

P: Forgive us, compassionate Redeemer, and grant us the opportunity to start over again.

L: Keep us from repeating the mistakes of the past or from new evils that could mislead or destroy.
A: In the name of Christ, we offer our earnest prayers for pardon and deliverance. Amen.
