CALL TO WORSHIP
Happy is the person who takes delight in the word of the Lord and meditates upon it yielding the fruits of the Spirit in season.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
One God, undivided in being, undiverted in purpose, we confess that we are often distracted from waiting on you. Whether married or single, we are easily attracted and engrossed by worldly things. When married or responsible for a family we may have additional cares that divide our minds, giving undue weight to the provision of daily bread and too little attention to what is good, what is seemly, what is true devotion to your work. Forgive faithless anxiety and half-hearted discipleship, unlike your exemplary Son, Jesus Christ, who was and is dedicated to you in body and in spirit. Amen.
