HYMN 37 - Let All Things Now Living ASH GROVE PRAYER OF CONFESSION Gracious God, in you we live and breathe and have our being; in life and in death we belong to you. Yet, often we find ourselves far from you and doubting your relevance and even your presence. Forgive us when we forget our place within your mercy and wander from our true home within your mystery. We pray as well that you give us the strength to withstand the forces that push and pull us away from you and neighbor. In the name of Jesus, who guides our way back to you, we offer our prayers. Amen. (Silence) WORDS OF ASSURANCE RESPONSE OF PRAISE - Alleluia!

Pulpit When I look at the sky which you have made, the moon and the stars that you set in place: Lectern Where do human beings fit in the pattern? What are we, that you care for us? Pulpit You have made us only a little lower than yourself; and crowned us with glory and honor.

Oh, what is man, that You are mindful of him? You have given man a crown of glory and honor, and have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation; the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea.
