PRAYERS OF CONFESSION
Silent
Unison:
hings that lie within us. We come before You angry at our lack of energy for fighting for justice and peace. Lord, turn our anger into action. Give us the courage to spread Your message of love and peace to a world ridden with hatred and war. Forgive us for our ignorance. We have not tried to understand or even know about what is happening and what has happened to others. We have formed uneducated opinions of other cultures and other people. Grant us the willingness to listen and accept other principals and ideals. Lord, some of us have spent so much time busying ourselves with trifling self-centered matters that we have not taken the time to look at and appreciate the wonderful things that You have given us. Help us to find the time to enjoy simple pleasures. Lord, we constantly underestimate Your power and the abilities that You place within us. Remind us that wherever You are there is hope, and that we can always spread that hope to others. Lord there are some things that we would rather not talk of aloud. We hand them over to You now. Lord, we pray that You will inspire us to do good in a world that is focused on evil, so that one day You may see Your world at peace. For all these things we pray in Your name. Amen.

THE CANDLE ON THE COMMUNION TABLE is a gift from the Moderator of the San Diego Presbytery, Gerri Tayler. Each church in our presbytery has an identical candle, representing the Light of Christ in the world and in our hearts, and each church is using this candle throughout 2010 as a sign of our common bond in the body of Christ.

THE FLOWERS IN WORSHIP TODAY are in celebration of the life of Stephen T. Santoro.

OUR GREETERS are Ray and Kristin Adams.

THE DEACON ON DUTY is Chris Marshman.
