Call to Worship                                                                    

selected verses              Psalm 69

I will praise the name of God with a song;

I will magnify him with thanksgiving. This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.

When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

For the LORD hears the needy. Let heaven and earth praise him.

Corporate Confession of Sin

adapted from       Psalm 6

O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled. I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. Please hear my prayer, please forgive all my sins.

I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;

I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul increased.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.
