Gracious God, who pours out freely the gift of Your Holy Spirit: We confess before You that we have failed to recognize this most valuable gift. We have been satisfied with ordinary things, suspicious of unfamiliar things, and blind to spiritual things. Cleanse and forgive us, O Lord. Burn away our presumption and self-sufficiency. Open us in faith to receive the renewing touch of Your hand. Through Christ we pray. Amen.
Silent Confession Assurance of Pardon Psalm 103:8-12
Children’s Sermon Hannah Koty Prayers of the People
Our Father, who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done; On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts; As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Prayer of Offering Dedication Rob Peterson * Congregational Response No. 624 Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
