*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Why have you come to this worship service?
People: Some have come to see friends; some have come because
itis there habit: some have come to hear a person in a
robe say a lot of words.
Leader: But others have come to be challenged; some have come to be
encouraged; some have come simply because they needed to
behere.
People: Help us this morning to remember how big our God is;
Help us to remember God’s love and grace. Help us to
listen and hear what God has to say.
Leader: Let us remember all that God has done; help us to see all that
God is doing; and help us to look ahead to what God will do.
People: We have come to hear what God will say. Together let us
worship our God!!
*OPENING HYMN #76 “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Leader: Lord, you call, but we do not always recognize your voice.
People: Sometimes we don't listen carefully. Sometimes we're
caught off guard.
Leader: Lord, you call, but we haven't always taught others to
hearyou.
People: Sometimes we stand in the way, allowing our voices to ring out over yours.
Leader: Lord, you call, but we don't always believe our ears.
People: Sometimes we believe we know better. Sometimes we
think you can't possibly be calling us, or her, or him.
All: Forgive us, Lord, our unpracticed listening, our closed ears.
Help us to hear. Amen.

We all go through the same things as Christian women, working women, mothers & grandmothers.
