*CALL to WORSHIP Let all who seek to grow in their faith enter this place for worship! We would have the Lord mold us and shape us into Gods people today. God is the Potter and we are the clay in the Great Creators hands. We yield our lives unto the Lord to mold us as is pleasing before God. Praise be to the Lord, for God is faithful to prepare us for eternity. All: Blessed be the name of the Lord! *HYMN #51G How Great Thou Art *CALL TO and PRAYER of CONFESSION Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judgment. Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image; hear us through Jesus Christ, the light of the world, as we continue to confess in silence *ASSURANCE of PARDON and *GLORIA PATRI *AFFIRMATION of FAITH- Apostles Creed

In the Potters Hands
