*Call to Worship Responsive Reading from Psalm 107:1-2, 28-31
Leader: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
All: Let the redeemed of the Lord say this, those he redeemed from the hand of the foe…
Leader: They cried out to the Lord in their distress, and he brought them out of their trouble.
All: He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to
their safe haven. Let us give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love, and his wonderful deeds for men.

Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
O God, help us! When the good we have known crumbles beneath our feet and we are mired in hopelessness and self-pity, we need you.
When we cannot hide from the evil that is all around us because some of it is in us, we cry out for your saving mercy. It is easier to see the
problems than the promise. We have been more ready to complain than to accept your help. We open our hearts to you now.
We want to be healed. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
