*Call to Confession *Prayer of Confession All: Holy God, we have sinned against you. We have seen pieces of your kingdom, but we have failed to live it. We live like the world is about us, ignoring you and our neighbors and forgetting what you made us for. We seek our own good before your good and the good of the people around us, and we ignore your will for us when it becomes inconvenient. Merciful God, help us to see your Kingdom that we might never turn away from it, and live every day as a part of it.
Psalm 128
Second Scripture Reading Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

We return to you this offering in recognition of all you have done for us; that by your will it might be magnified and multiplied to your service and your glory. Amen.
