Welcome & Announcements
Call to Worship — Psalm 9:9-12
Leader: The Lord is a safe place for the oppressed – a safe place in difficult times.
People: Those who know your name trust you because you have not abandoned any who seek you, Lord.
Leader: Sing praises to the Lord, who lives in Zion! Proclaim his mighty acts among all people!
People: Because the one who avenges bloodshed remembers those who suffer; the Lord hasn’t forgotten their cries for help.
Leader: As the people of God, let us worship the Lord!
Opening Song
Prayer of Confession
God of grace, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a fire of judgment. Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image; through Jesus Christ, the light of the world. (Silent confession)
Assurance of Pardon & Passing of the Peace
Leader: May the peace of Christ be with you.
People: And also with you.
Children’s Message
Scripture Reading: Exodus 3:1-15
Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

Affirmation of Faith – from The Scots Confession
We confess and acknowledge one God alone, to whom alone we must cleave, whom alone we must serve, whom only we must worship, and in whom alone we put our trust. Who is eternal, infinite, immeasurable, incomprehensible, omnipotent, invisible; one in substance and yet distinct in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. By whom we confess and believe all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, to have been created, to be retained in their being, and to be ruled and guided by his inscrutable providence for such end as his eternal wisdom, goodness, and justice have appointed, and to the manifestation of his own glory.
