L: Let us worship God! **Hymn – 4 Holy God, We Praise Your Name **Silent Prayer of Confession **Common Prayer of Confession Trusting you does not always come easy, O Lord, when each day we are faced with the ugliness of the world. We do not believe that love conquers fear. We are not convinced that power comes through weakness. We cannot conceive how you could heal us and our world. Forgive our lack of faith, O God, and renew our trust in you, for we would be disciples of Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen. **Assurance of Pardon L: Friends, this is the Good News of the Gospel... P: ...in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! Welcome! June 28, 2015, 10:30 a.m. (Please turn off cell phones and other electronic devices.
