God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Psalm 19:12-14
To be read aloud by someone in your home
Who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Opening Prayer
Take a moment of quiet, to ask God to search your heart and show you if there are things that you need forgiveness for; faults you haven’t seen, that you have been guilty of this past week, and for which you need God’s forgiveness.
But remember - God is our rock, and our Redeemer. Pray asking for forgiveness, but also thanking God for His promise to forgive and cleanse us, and asking Him to show you again His love and grace.

Congregational Singing
We encourage you to sing - make a joyful noise! If you play an instrument, play! If you have some favorite hymns or choruses, pick one or two and sing! Or make use of other technology to play some music, and listen and sing along.
Below are some hymns you can make use of if these would be a help to you:
Congregational Prayer
Take a few moments to think about/share together how God has shown his care for you this week.
Now take some time to think about/share together some of the needs that you have right now and the needs of others you know.
Now, take some time to pray thanking God for His care and asking God to meet the needs that you have shared.
Close by praying the Lord’s Prayer together:
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever, Amen.
Offering
