Karam *HYMN: How Great Thou Art #77 *HYMN: Lord, Be Glorified (Video) *PRAYER OF CONFESSION Caring God, we confess with deepest shame that we too often keep the good news that you have given to us in Christ to ourselves, as though we were to preserve rather than to proclaim it. We forget that our first task is to carry your good news to the world. Forgive us, we pray, and commission us again with our apostolic charge. Make us yearn and burn to share the message of your grace in Christ Jesus with all people everywhere. In his holy name we pray. Amen. ANTHEM: Holy is the Lord Youth Handbell Choir P.
