Call to Worship:
Love is hope that promises new tomorrows
and heals yesterday’s wounds,
Love is compassion that dispels fear
and nurtures the soul,
Love is commitment that stands the
test of time and overcomes mistrust and neglect,
Love is two souls breathing independent
breaths in unison.
True love draws us to God
And true love draws us to one another
in covenant for all time.
Hymn: 530 I come with joy vs 1, 4, 5
Opening Prayer
Unison Prayer of Confession
Forgive us Lord when we struggle to love. We are short-
tempered with our neighbors, we are quick to judge, and
not only do we refuse to bear all things, sometimes we
cannot bear to endure even one more moment. Have mercy
upon our meager attempts to love and renew us as we
commit ourselves to walk in your ways. AMEN
