WELCOME

CALL TO WORSHIP
Though the storm clouds of doubt and fear threaten to overcome us 
God leads us into ways of peace.
When the darkness of war and the deep pit of anger reach toward us 
God lifts and carries us through the darkness with hope and light.
Lord of hope and life, be with us today.
God of mercy and peace, lead our lives. Amen.

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious and loving God, you lived for us - we have not lived for you. You have forgiven us - we have not forgiven others. You have loved us - we have not loved ourselves nor have we loved one another. Take pity on us and forgive us, God. Help us to forgive. Help us to live for you. Help us to love through Christ our Lord. Amen.

MESSAGE No Fair, week 2: The Math of Forgiveness
Rev. Chip Stapleton 

APPOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. The third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
