*OUR CALL FOR WORSHIP: Psalm 149

Leader: Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

People: Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.

Leader: For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory.

People: Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches.

Leader: Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

Leader: This is glory for all his faithful ones.

People: Praise the Lord!

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Gracious God, we confess that we’ve sinned against you. Although we’re surrounded by conflicts and divisions, we fail to appreciate the damage they do to our communities and congregations. As a result, instead of working toward resolution and reconciliation, we remain still and silent.  Merciful Lord, forgive us, and give us the courage and insight to confront the divisions we face. Amen.
