Call to Worship

Minister: To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
Minister: so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
All: Amen!

Corporate Confession of Sin

Minister: As we gather before our holy God, let us now humble ourselves and confess our sin before him praying together:
All: Our great and majestic God in heaven, we bless your name today as we gather to praise you. Forgive us for thinking so little on the work of your Son – his suffering and his death. Please fan into flame our affections for him and help us to serve him all of our days. We pray these things in His name. Amen.
