Opening Prayer

All: Mighty God, we look to the rulers of this earth for leadership, wisdom, and strength. When rulers betray, God offers another look. God will guide us. God’s Spirit will sustain us. Christ will welcome us home. Come, sisters and brothers, we are all God’s family now.

Hymn #664 Morning Has Broken          



Call to Confession


Prayer of Confession 

All: Our God, you created the world and called it good. You created man and woman in your image and called them very good. But we have been deceived by half-truths and false promises. We have tasted temptation and it is bitter in our mouths. We thought our desire for forbidden fruit would bring us wisdom, but it brought us only the curse of pain and death. Please cover us in your love. Take away our sin. Restore our relationship with you, our God. Amen.


Assurance of Pardon

Prayer for Illumination

All: Eternal God, in the reading of the Scripture, may your Word be heard; in the meditations of our hearts, may your Word be known; and in the faithfulness of our lives, may your Word be shown. Amen. 


Old Testament Reading:                                                               1 Samuel 8:4-20

Gospel Reading                                                                       Mark 3:20-27


Message:                           “We All Fall Down”                           Pastor Greg

Affirmation of Faith (from The Second Helvetic Confession)  

All: "Unity consists not in outward rites and ceremonies, but rather in the truth and unity of the catholic faith. The catholic faith is not given to us by human laws, but by Holy Scriptures, of which the Apostles’ Creed is a compendium. And, therefore, we read in the ancient writers that there was a manifold diversity of rites, but that they were free, and no one ever thought that the unity of the Church was thereby dissolved. So we teach that the true harmony of the Church consists in doctrines and in the true and harmonious preaching of the Gospel of Christ, and in rites that have been expressly delivered by the Lord."


Hymn #331 God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand        



Prayers of the People and The Lord's Prayer

Offertory

Doxology


Prayer of Dedication

All: God of wonder, we offer you these humble gifts, signs of your goodness and mercy. Receive them with our gratitude, that through us all people may know the riches of your love in the Word-made-flesh, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 



Communion

One: The Lord be with you

All:  And also with you

One: Lift up your hearts

All:  We lift them to the Lord

One: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God

All:  It is right to give our thanks and praise!

One: It is right...

Benediction
