NEWS OF THE CHURCH

PRELUDE Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies arr. Cindy Berry

* CALL TO WORSHIP Luke 6

One: Climb with Moses up the mountain of God.

Many: God’s glory shines like the sun.

One: Climb with Jesus up the mountain of God.

Many: Christ’s glory shines like the sun.

One: Climb with the faithful up the mountain of God.

Many: The Spirit’s glory shines like the sun.

One: Climb the mountain of God.

Many: We have come to see and to worship.

* HYMN BCH 73 O Worship the King

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Many: God of majesty and might, we long to be invited like Peter, James,

and John to witness Christ’s glory, but we secretly suspect that we

too would be weighed down with sleep, or feel the need to speak

when we should be listening. Test our hearts, O God. Call us to climb

your mountain, that we might face our fears and prove ourselves

more worthy of your holy calling. Amen.

are forgiven.
