Gathering and Announcements

Prelude

Call to Worship
In the beginning when God created:
A wind swept over the waters, A breath warmed the dark voids,
A Spirit called forth creation.
God gave in grace:
Let there be light for all to see, Let there be water for all to splash in,
Let there be life in the midst of death. Yes, let there be life beyond death.
And God invited and invites us to respond, rejoicing!
It was good, It was awesome and awe-filled,
It is good.

Confession 
Spirit of God, we confess that we put on airs more often than we put on the armor of God. We are guilty of girding ourselves with lies instead of the truth. We try to protect ourselves with arrogance, superstition, and self-reliance instead of righteousness, faith, and your gift of salvation. Our footsteps do not follow your path of peace. And we are quick to use your Word to attack one another, instead of striking out against the sins we personally commit. Forgive us, Holy God. Gift us with the wisdom and strength to change our ways, so that we may live as your faithful ambassadors of the Good News.
