Twenty-eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time Hymn: 385 All People on the Earth Do Dwell Call to worship: Leader: This is the day that the Lord has made. All: Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Opening prayer (prayer of St. Francis) Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O, God, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Opening prayer of confession Gracious God, you have told us what is good; and what you require to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with you. And so we come before you as your children and remember our baptism: Trusting in the gracious mercy of God, do you turn from the ways of sin and renounce evil and its power in the world? I do. Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Lord and Savior, trusting in his grace and love? I do. Will you be Christ’s faithful disciple, obeying his Word and showing his love? I will, with God’s help. Assurance of Pardon: Remember your baptism and be thankful. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, one God mother of us all. Amen.

Call to worship: (Psalm 96) Leader: O sing to the Lord a new song; All: sing to the Lord, all the earth. Leader: Sing, and give praise to God’s name; All: tell the glad news of salvation from day to day. Opening prayer of confession Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires, known, and from whom no secrets are hid: we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Assurance of Pardon: Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know that you are forgiven and be at peace. Thanks be to God!
