Holy one, we confess that we sometimes forget who you are.
We offer to you that which costs us little.
We bring you the leftovers of our time, energy, gifts and worship.
We neglect your call to love when it is inconvenient.
We ignore your call to serve when it causes us discomfort.
Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy.
Cleanse us and give us the mind and heart of Jesus,
who came not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many
(prayer of silent confession).
Childcare for ages 3 months-2 years will be in NPNS Classroom 16. 3 years – PreK will be in NPNS Classroom 11. K-5th grade Sunday school will be in Horton Hall.
2 Peter 1:12-21

“You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up”
Prayer Focus: Pivot Ministries, Bridgeport and United Methodist Church, Darien
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Sacrament is open to all who have faith in Jesus Christ. This morning you are invited to come forward to take the elements from one of our servers. One server will offer gluten free bread, the other servers will offer regular bread. Please only take gluten free bread if you need to. After receiving your elements, please return to your pew. We will partake together after everyone is seated.
