You have been our dwelling place Affirming Faith (unison) Lord, you have been our dwelling place— yesterday, today, and tomorrow. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. You are near and we will live forever. Amen. Confessing/Reconciling Leader: God of light, you have called us children of light and day, People: yet we find ourselves stumbling as though it were night. Leader: We have claimed that you are our dwelling place, People: yet we fail to settle in deeply. Leader: You have entrusted us with talents, People: yet sometimes we bury them. (pause for silence) Leader: God, who has called you, has not destined you for wrath, but to receive salvation through your Lord Jesus Christ. Sending Good and faithful servants— as you journey from this place, faithfully use that which God has entrusted to you. —Esther Lanting, Wakarusa, Indiana November is Mission Month.
