&nb= sp;                     &= nbsp; make you fishers of people.” <= /b>

      One:     They left their nets, u= nsure of where Jesus

        =                 would take them.

      All:=     Today, Jes= us calls us, to come and follow him.

Prayer of Approach and Confession:

            Clear our minds from the many distractions

     &nb= sp;    that we bring to this place.

      Help us to focus our thoughts and direct our lives

            to following the one who calls each of us.

      We confess that we have sometimes tried to ignore

     Jesus’ call to us.

We pretended that we didn’t hear.

We often make excuses for not doing

     what Jesus asks us to do.

Help us, O God, to be honest and to be loving

     in our worship and in our service.    Amen=
