Please ask about the hearing devices or large print bulletins. Nursery care available for children under 5. We are glad that you are here! Welcome and Announcements Prelude Trust In Thee J. Southbridge, Composer Choral Introit Call To Worship One: Come, Holy Spirit, come. Be the wind and fire that transform our lives. Many: Breathe upon us as we study your Word of Life. One: Kindle faith from our believing doubt. Many: Cleanse us from our waywardness. One: Deepen our passion for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many: Give us voice to proclaim your mighty works in every tongue. All: Fill your church with power. Come, Holy Spirit, come! Hymn No. 334 Sweet, Sweet Spirit (sing twice) Children s Moment -Children are dismissed at this time to room 211 Call to Confession Pastor: Let us join in our prayer of confession together: All: Forgive us, loving God, for measuring your will by conventional standards. Abraham and Sarah, when they questioned your promise, assumed that what goes for us goes for you, too. So do we all assume, too often, that our half-truths are close enough to your truth; that our halfhearted gestures are close enough to your goodness; and that our grudging halfway advances are close enough to your second-mile love. Forgive us for forgetting how much larger is your will for us and your expectation from us than we ever admit to ourselves. We dare to pray because we know how much larger your mercy is than we ever deserve. Words Of Pardon Pastor: Trust always in the love of God: for God is faithful, true and always compassionate. Christ Jesus brings us God s love which is freely offered to us. In Christ, we are now forgiven. Choral Anthem Make Me A Channel of Your Peace Chancel Choir Joys and Concerns for Prayer and thanksgiving Pastoral Prayer The Lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Offertory Offertory On Serenity L. Smith, Composer Doxology Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly host. Praise, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. Scripture Reading Mark 1: 9 11; Acts 2: 1-4 Liturgist: This is the word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.
