CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 84 (selected verses)
L - How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts! My very being longs, even yearns,
for the Lord's courtyards.
P - My heart and my body sing for joy to the living God!
L - Those who live in your house are truly happy; they praise you constantly.…Better is a single day
in your courtyards than a thousand days anywhere else!
P - I would prefer to stand outside the entrance of my God's house than live comfortably in
the tents of the wicked! Those who trust in you are truly happy!
PRAYER OF THE DAY
*HYMN "Here in This Place" ("Gather Us In")

DEDICATION OF BAPTISMAL FONT
CALL TO CONFESSION
L - This is the proof of God's great love: that while we were sinners Jesus Christ died for us.
P - Trusting in God's grace, let us confess our sin.
CONFESSION OF SIN (Unison) God our Redeemer, we confess that we are people of ashes and dust. We renovate buildings and fail
to renovate our lives. You write your law in our hearts, yet we pretend we do not know you. You send
your only begotten Son to be our Savior, and we ignore his guidance and direction. You lift up Christ
for all to see, yet we turn away from your glory. Forgive us, God of grace, and continue to wash away
our sins.
