*Call to Worship Responsive Reading, Isaiah 6:1-4
Leader: In the year of King Uzziah’s death, Isaiah saw the glory of the Lord in a vision. “I saw Adonai sitting on a high, lofty throne! The hem of his robe filled the temple.
All: Mighty seraphs, burning with the glory of God, stood above him. Each had six wings – with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.
Leader: The seraphs cried out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” The doorposts shook at the sound of their shouting, and the house was filled with smoke.
All: “Woe to me! I am doomed! For I am a person of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Glorious and gracious God, open our eyes to see our own sinfulness, that we may admit the many ways we have failed you. We are people of unclean lips, dwelling among people who deny your presence and power. We fail to consult you before making our decisions; we close our eyes to your truth; we refuse to hear and obey your commands; we do not understand your ways. As we humble ourselves before you, lifting prayers of repentance, hear and forgive us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
In response to Isaiah’s cry for mercy, a seraph touched the prophet’s mouth with a burning coal from the altar of God, saying, “Your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” By the grace of God, Christ comes to us as Savior, to cleanse us and take our sins away. In him, we are made new and called to service in the kingdom of God.
