*Sometimes we'll do a block of worship flow starting with an offeratory congregational song on God's goodness followed by responsive reading of our unworthiness, then a choral anthem on God's mercy and the cross that is not based on our worthiness, then a read prayer of confession and acceptance of God's grace followed by a congregational song of joy.
