* Prayer of Confession
(Unison)
Gina Morgan
Lord we walk down many paths to reach you. Yet once we do we have to confess that we like the smooth paths. We want to
stay on the sidewalk. However not everyone comes to you by means of the sidewalk. Help us to get off the beaten path so that
others may find the path. Amen and Amen.

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

temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
