PRAYER OF ADORATION AND CONFESSION (Psalm 8) O LORD, our God, how splendid is your name in all the earth; a radiance I will worship to the ends of the cosmos. On weak infant babbling you have established strength on account of your enemies, to subdue chaos and death. I gaze at the night sky, and marvel at your handiwork; the moon and stars which you have set in place. Who am I that you remember me, or the whole human family, that you care about us?.../2

You have made us in your image, little less than yourself, and surrounded us with the glory and splendour of your creating word. Yet you have given us these works of your hands: you have put the world at our feet; sheep and cattle, herds and flocks, birds of the air – blue wren and wedgetail eagle, fish of the sea – fairy penguin and Southern Right whale – all the creatures that live and move in the depths and shallows. O LORD, our God, how splendid is your name in all the earth...../3

Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is – seen and unseen, there vare times we exploit rather than treasure your gift of creation. (silence) Fully human in Jesus of Nazareth, born of Mary, there are times we fail to live out your commandment to love. (silence) Holy Spirit, giver of life, who has spoken through the prophets, there are times we betray the truth of the gospel. (silence).../3

OFFERING Creating and life-giving God, you have given us the works of your hands, and made us little less than yourself, and move us to love by the presence of your Spirit of grace. What can we bring but the labours of our living and the life we have in you, in Jesus' name. Amen For use in worship, with acknowledgement. © Jeff Shrowder 2000, 2013
