PRAYERS OF CONFESSION
Silent
Unison:Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, whose face is hidden from us by our sins, and whose mercy we forget in the blindness of our hearts: Cleanse us from all our offenses, and deliver us from proud thoughts and vain desires, that with reverent and humble hearts we may draw near to you, confessing our faults, confiding in your grace, and finding in you our refuge and strength; through Jesus Christ your Son. Amen.

RESPONSE OF PRAISE 60 (3) Great Is Thy Faithfulness FAITHFULNESS
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

ANTHEM Communion Hymn
Kellermeyer		 The Summer Choir
Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me
as Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee, O Living Word!
Bless Thou the truth, dear Lord, to me,
as Thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall,
and I shall find my peace, my all in all.
Thou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, to me.
Thy holy Word the truth that saveth me;
Give me to eat and live with Thee above;
Teach me to love Thy truth, for Thou art love.
Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me.
